It's pretty cheap to send out a whole load of letters before action, and the settlement money from BBC and ITV means he's already ahead on the deal. Plus, if he takes a scorched earth approach, he's bound to sweep up a reasonable number of people who haven't yet been identified, but who he'd be quite happy to have a go at - lefty types crowing over a Tory paedophile story. Plus he is getting lots of encouragement from folks who think this is a good test of the ability of private civil law to control the excesses of social media. If I was at risk I wouldn't feel confident that he is bluffing.

Well if you used one supplier, you could review around 10,000 sites for about ?100.


If he used six or seven he could probably expand that to around 20,000 sites for ?1000 - certainly all the popular ones including this one.


Suppliers he could use would be Radian6, Meltwater Buzz, Brandtology...


I use them for clients everyday.


He'd then have to fight a pretty aggressive battle to get the correspondent details out of the sites - could take years.


Then the question would be whether anyone had said anything that could be considered to be beyond fair comment.


I wouldn't go fessing up anything just yet ;-)

"He'd then have to fight a pretty aggressive battle to get the correspondent details out of the sites - could take years."


Actually, this would probably be quite straightforward in this case, particularly where he is not going after the sites themselves. He'd have to get a court order, but the courts have been handing them out pretty freely in P2P copyright infringement cases. Plus, economies of scale - you only ned one order per site.

And if the poster has any sense, they'll have used a dummy, non-traceble email account. The chances of getting an IP address would be fairly remote for most sites, and even then you could have a hard time trying to nail the case on a unique owner.


In many cases I'd wager it would be nigh on impossible. Unless you're the intelligence arm of a Government of course.

Correct t-e-d, reputation management tools can only search for words and context. Common synonyms and euphemisms will be added by operators.


Each occurrence would then be graded, and any borderline ones would be flagged for human review.


Lots will slip through the net, but lots won't.


I think it's largely redundant, an all out attack on society is not an ideal strategy for a democratic party, so it's more likely he'll cherry pick extreme offenders.

    • Does anyone know if the above is taking place this year. Can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere?   Simon
    • Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk               
    • I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt. 
    • Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
