> building up a GoodThink/BadThink database
Yep. I'm going to London on Friday. The Mayor of London just decided that anybody who posts stuff against muslims on social networks is guilty of a hate crime. I am thinking I won't get arrested when I arrive... but it's a possibility, and I definitely won't access twitter while I'm there.

- DanBC 10y agoAccording to your source he hasn't made any new laws, he's just setting up a police unit to enforce existing laws. The existing laws do not say "anybody who posts stuff against muslims on social networks is guilty of a hate crime". Here's an example of the kind of crime they're talking about: https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/judgments/sentencing-remarks-of-mr-justice-spencer-r-v-joshua-bonehill-paine-harassment-of-luciana-berger-mp/ https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/judgments/sentencing-remarks-of...
