I've not see anyone in the UK arrested for a like, but there are enough examples of people arrested for a single tweet, or retweet [0][1][2]. [0] https://nypos

  Russians don't have an option to pay fee to be free. Our usual term for "incorrect" speech is starting from 3 years.

    > Russians don't have an option to pay fee to be free I'm not sure what you mean here, I assume you are referring to fines, as the UK doesn't have a paid bond, a fine is not a fee, it is a punishment. Fines are also a punishment in Russia so the idea should not be entirely alien to you. Here is a link that details the Russian Federations punishments for financial crimes, lost of fines in that area of Russian law [0]. Like I said in my original post, you have to abide by the local rules. The Russian government viewing a like as a prohibited political speech and the associated punishment would be following the local rules.
