We are talking about handfulls, but they do happen.
- beardyw 2y agoWhen I said it happens a lot I was referring to extradition generally. Not always successfully though.
- dekhn 2y agoOK, so it seems likely that while the UK metro police chief can say this, and even try to extradict some folks, it's unlikely the US is going to hand somebody over for shitposting that might be illegal in the UK.
- beardyw 2y agoExtradition can take a long time - see Julian Assange. He didn't commit a crime on American soil as far as I know, but the US tried very hard to get hold of him. But set foot on the soil and the arrest warrant would be served.
