I think the law should change. Too many people are being arrested because of social media posts, and whilst I don't like a lot of them, it's not a cause for the police to turn up and arrest you. Not to mention it's a waste of police time as well.

Direct incitement or targeted abuse should be illegal. Some of these laws (and some of the laws on protest) need to be rewritten or revoked.
