You would think examples like this would demonstrate to you that your thinking was wrong, but instead you just double down on it.

We already have enough evidence of people in the UK getting arrested for saying things on social media.

Like calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3v5926yeqro

She said she wouldn’t care if the hotels were set on fire.

“Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care.”

That “for all I care” changes the whole meaning of the sentence.

She clearly disagreed with you since she pled guilty.

Generally, _inciting violence_. I mean, agree with that being punishable or not, you've got to admit that it is in a different _category_ to calling some dickhead a dickhead.

Is it for saying dickhead? Or is it for things like making terroristic threats and spreading racial hatred?

Pointing out highly increased crime rates of certain groups of asylum immigrants is not "spreading racial hatred". The emotional reaction to these crimes is a different matter.

Why are you asserting that's what I was talking about?

In any case, I'm curious why certain folk are very interested in spreading that star, but don't spread other stats like female asylum immigrants from "certain groups" have lower crime rates than, say, white men.

No, there are examples of people saying things that break a law getting arrested.

There seems to be this bizarre belief that it's fine to engage in incitement to violence, harassment or stalking, as long as it's done on social media.

It's not. They would be illegal via phone calls and they're still illegal on X or Facebook.

Many of these things are legal in other countries, such as the US.
