A top prosecutor for the British government warned in a new article that it will crack down on "online hate crime" committed by "those in the UK who hold extreme views" on "sexuality" and "gender."
Alison Saunders, director of public prosecutions for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), wrote in The Guardian, "whether shouted or tweeted, prejudice devastates lives."
Policing Internet speech could be one solution for the questions of "how societies might do more to prevent such opinions from gestating in the first place," Saunders wrote.
"An increasing proportion of hate crime is now perpetrated" online, wrote Saunders. CPS "commits to treat online hate crimes as seriously as those committed face to face."
A follow-up article in The Guardian said CPS has a new policy that will "cover different strands of hate crime: racist and religious; disability; and homophobic, biphobic and transphobic. They also say that victims of biphobic hate crime, aimed at bisexual people, have different needs and experiences compared to those suffering anti-gay and transphobic offences."
