Britain's Big Brother Summer

Big Brother CPS Crown Prosecution Service online hate UK riots

The government-driven censorship machine is whirring into action. Earlier today, the Crown Prosecution Service warned that posting content which “incites violence or hatred” online will be punished. A flashing video warns X users to “think before you post”. It also says posters can be prosecuted for sharing such content, not even creating it.

Think before you post! ✋ Content that incites violence or hatred isn’t just harmful – it can be illegal.

The CPS takes online violence seriously and will prosecute when the legal test is met. Remind those close to you to share responsibly or face the consequences. pic.twitter.com/5gxnUH02yw

One rather funny comment read: “I was gonna try to ratio you but decided not to because it might be illegal and I don’t wanna get in trouble”. At least this country has its priorities in order.
