I don't know if thousands are being arrested, but I know that I can't rely on what's being reported out there. A little while ago I was curious if people were actually being arrested for posting mean tweets in the UK so I looked for a fact check (top google result for "fact check arrest mean tweets UK"), and sure enough I was told that an 11 year old was NOT arrested for mean tweets. But as I read further I was less convinced. An 11 year old boy was arrested for "suspicion of violent disorder" although the fact check didn't elaborate what that was. Then it went on a non-sequester about a different 11 year old boys arrested for arson. Finally it got around to admitting sending grossly offensive, obscene, indecent, or menacing messages on public electronic communication networks is a criminal offence. Never mind the tweet from West Midlands police bragging about arresting a 12 year old boy. Pretty wild you get this as the top result when you search "fact check arrest mean tweets UK". https://mleverything.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-fact-check https://mleverything.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-fact-check https://x.com/WMPolice/status/1282627004018364416 https://x.com/WMPolice/status/1282627004018364416
