Arizona and Canada/UK to make online trolling illegal?

[adalwine]

So this am I was reading Canada news where it said they are going to make online trolling illegal in Canada/UK (I think it's one and the same country: UK owns Canada and their queen rules them) and I can't find that article in my history. So I google it and I get articles from back in April about AZ passing the law.

Found the Canada one here it is, see they talk about Canada then switch to UK:

And AZ:

So how are they going to define "trolling"?? If you post a troll reply (from "trololo" to "your mom" and "you're an idiot") and I report you and they get your IP then you could go to jail for 5 years?? 0.o I mean who is to say what constitutes trolling if the law makers already can't even figure out what "normal", "indecency" and "obscenity" means?

Aren't they confusing "trolling" with "stalking"?? Which is what the Canada dude did to the female MP or whatever she is. (no idea what MP means LOL!)

I hope they mean stalking. If it's just in fun it shouldn't be a crime. There's no way they could pass this bill anyway.
