People promoting “hostility” towards a religion or the transgendered online could get much harsher sentences, of up to six years in jail, especial if they have a large online audience according to new proposals.

If an “offender was a member of, or was associated with, a group promoting hostility based on race or religion,” their sentence will also be harsher.
