The only way I could think of to enforce an anti-trolling law would mean that somehow every one of us would need to be immediately identifiable to legal authorities, which would seem to mean some sort of online tracking for every internet user. Not that they aren't already doing some of that, so it seems, but I can't say I'd be happy with having to have some sort of identifier tied to every place I go on the net. It sounds to much like some kind of Orwellian existence with a serial number stamped on our forehead.
I have to agree with the comment I read along with the article where I saw the issue being presented. The guy said that this whole notion of passing a law against people's comments considered trolling was brought on by the "MySpace/Facebook generation", where they want to post every tiny minutia of their lives all day long online for the whole world to see. It seems only natural that one end result of such actions is to encounter things one might not like to see. The world can be a really nasty place sometimes. But passing more laws isn't going to make it all sunshine and roses.
Personally, I feel the current "banhammer" method seems to work quite well in forums and such. So for those places where the format is much less organized, it seems to me they should be re-organized with moderators watching what is said, and to whom one could report a posting that seems out of line. Our legal system is too overloaded now. I see no point in adding to its burden with litigation delving into determining the 'real intent' of some comment someone posted on the internet. We have bigger fish to fry. Like finding a way to feed everyone and give them a decent job.
All that said, I don't want to usurp this thread, so I'll shut up now.
I think my son uses Skype. I'll have to contact him and see if he still does, and maybe give it a try on my A500 to see if I can make it work, once MahaloCat comes back with the version number he is using and source of his download.
