Re: Uk Riots and Protests (2024)
People shouldn't be getting a knock on the door from the police for posts that aren't incitement, otherwise advocating for violence or criminality. Some of the people arrested for social media posts deserve it because they said people should be violent but just being offensive isn't enough to be criminally charged for me.
I don't believe in a complete right to free speech. But each exception to that needs to be justified. The reason we don't allow incitement is because it can directly lead to violence and any reasonable person knows it can. So we make that exception. As with any law if we're limiting an individual's freedom there needs to be a good case as to why.
