I wish they would label Russian and Chinese influence as subversion. But knowing the UK, they'll probably use it to jail people who post mean things on twitter

- philjohn 11mo ago"Mean tweets" and incitement to commit violence are mutually exclusive.
- ekjhgkejhgk 11mo agoNo they're not, and also, it's irrelevant to my point because I'm not talking about incitement to commit violence.
- monooso 11mo agoSo you're saying a tweet inciting violence isn't mean.
- ekjhgkejhgk 11mo agoHe doesn't know what "mutually exclusive" means, he just heard someone say it.

- whynotmaybe 11mo agoGonna need a follow up on that one. > was then interrogated over the picture and another photo of a house he shared on social media – which he told police he had never been to and was taken by someone else. > The allegations about stalking and illegal possession of a firearm were dropped, but he was then charged with a public order offence for a different social media post. Either the police is exaggerating, either this guy is exaggerating... or a little bit of both? https://metro.co.uk/2025/11/29/british-man-arrested-posing-gun-us-instagram-post-24963842/ https://metro.co.uk/2025/11/29/british-man-arrested-posing-g...
- fakedang 11mo agoThe fact that there is even a "public order offence" for shit posted on social media is telling enough about the UK. The British should stop claiming to be a free democracy. Democracy they might be, but free they are not.
- whynotmaybe 11mo agoDepends on the definition of "free". There aren't any free country.
