My own MP certainly didn't have any idea what the ramifications were when I asked him about it when he came doorstepping at the last election.

I am against it because it removes the assumption of innocence and puts the burden of proof on the accused rather than the accuser. It also punishes an entiire family for the (alleged) actions of one family member.

And that's beside the fact that it puts the future of sites like this at risk.
