Chubb To Offer UK 'Troll Insurance' Policy (thestack.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Insurance group Chubb will start offering the UK's first cyber-bullying policy – 'troll insurance' – through which it will accept claims of up to £50,000 to cover counselling and relocation costs, as well as time spent out of work. Chubb will provide its personal insurance policy customers the option to claim expenses ensued from online abuse. Cyberbullying is defined by the insurer as 'three or more acts by the same person or group to harass, threaten or intimidate a customer.' While the new insurance option is targeted towards parents concerned about their children's online activities, adults who are targeted by cyber abuse will also be able to make a claim.

Just another scam

[smooth wombat]

Insurance is the biggest scam perpetrated against humanity since religion. It's nothing but a scare tactic to make one believe they need to throw their money away or something bad will happen.

On average, most people in the U.S. will lose, over their lifetime, at least $250K to insurance. That's money which will never be recovered or used for more worthwhile endeavors such as food, clothing or housing. It's gone. Forever. And you gained no benefit for it.

What a scam.
