Journalist Sonia Poulton promises "The untold story of Madeleine McCann".

[Anna]

I wonder if SP had the following in mind when she was making arrangements for the Sun to interview Ms Hutton, as there doesn't appear to be any room for 'misunderstanding' in this very clear statement:-

Quote

 ''Freedom of speech should not include the freedom to bully and spread lies. Perhaps by exposing trolls it will serve as a warning that our society is no longer prepared to tolerate abuse''. (Sonia Poulton)

This is the link I believe for the above quote.

She wrote that in 2012, pity she hasn't taken note of what she said then.

"There are cases of troll victims committing suicide and the relentless attacks can leave people emotionally drained and with their mental and physical health affected".

"PEOPLE who lead full and productive lives do not become trolls but those who are dissatisfied, and who have mental health issues, often do".

Thank you Anna.  That doesn't sound to me like someone who would admire and support Ms Hutton - or BL for that matter, who IIRC, also accused a poster who she believed was witness in the McCann case of being a prostitute.

Curiouser and curiouser.

It is an interesting article, which, unless I am mistaken, seems to contradict what is now being said, in her defence of BL.

"They worry that the power to name and shame trolls, including the possibility of prosecution, will lead to censorship and damage free speech.
I disagree. Freedom of speech should not include the freedom to bully and spread lies. Perhaps by exposing trolls it will serve as a warning that our society is no longer prepared to tolerate abuse.
For the reality is this: just because internet attacks are nameless and faceless it does not make them harmless.” …….Sonia Poulton

Very strange indeed!
 I remember a mention of that accusation, but Sonia obviously doesn't think that was abuse either.....
I cant quite understand what this lady believes, or is trying to put to rights  &%+((£

Me neither.

IMO either SP - without any explanation -  has done a complete 'U turn' on the subject of trolls and is going to make a video - which in order to please sceptics will inevitably be extremely libellous - thus leaving herself open to legal action.

Or she has successfully duped the trolls into queuing up to give her the evidence she needs to make a video proving how right she was about trolls in her 2012 article - with no threat at all of legal action..

Whether she is 'daring' enough to have done the latter - I have no idea.

I guess, it's another ......We'll have to wait and see.

I do hope, that nobody gets hurt, in the process of making this, Film/documentary.

A Filmed Expose on Trolls has been begging to happen for at least seven years.  Could this be it?  If so, I am not sure that I will approve as it will have been done with deception.  And even Trolls don't deserve that.  IMO.

And her doorstepping the McCanns ? How does that fit in with a 'doping' documentary ?

That's what I'm worried about, Duping.  Or is that not what you meant?

The only 'trolls' SP sees are abduction believers.

So you think that it is only McCann supporters, that she is gunning for and not all these, abusive, lying trolls that she condemned in her article?

I don't know if she is gunning for them, but just listen to her video in October after the tragedy. That wasn't fake.

You couldn't possibly make a film about all 'trolls' without putting yourself on the side of Carole Malone and the other papers who made Brenda into the Wicker Woman. Those who think Sonia has that in mind are being silly.
