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.
The Sentencing Council for England and Wales has drafted changes to public order offences, including anyone perceived as targeting online a protected characteristics including race; sex; disability; age; sexual orientation; religion or belief; pregnancy and maternity; and gender reassignment.
The most severe punishments will be handed to those in a position of trust, authority or influence and abuses their position to stir up hatred, such as political leaders or figureheads and anyone whose offences are persistent.
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.
