| curl-6 said: As it's the US thread I don't want to derail, but it does happen: https://nypost.com/2025/08/19/world-news/uk-free-speech-struggle-30-arrests-a-day-censorship/ |
The article suggests that those people got arrested for no good reason when there actually are laws in UK for hate speech from long before social media even existed. Also, there is no statistic that would back up the claim of 30 persons a day being arrested. The New York Post pulled than one right out of their asses. Plus in most cases people don't actually get jailed, especially not for just some random comment on social media. The only cases in which people got sentenced because of hate speech in UK were cases where people posted such stuff over longer periods of time and in huge numbers.
The article is misleading, to say the least. Which is unsurprising coming from the New York Post.
