Which dangerous criminals are the government going to release to make space for those ever so hurtful, even more dangerous social media posters?

Good to know 1984 is just around the corner. What exciting times!

Don't underestimate how dangerous social media is in the wrong hands

The world has gone a little bit mad but social media has to take a lot of the blame.

People hide behind what they think is anonymity but trust me there is no such thing when you are on line. However they think they can post their hate filled bile and nobody will knock on their door.

Well it is coming home to roost now. I disagree that people can be arrested and jailed for saying what they think but if it’s inciting violence and is racist or sexist/homophobic then they are fair game imo.

However, calling someone out because you don’t agree with their opinion is fine. We get numpties on here (and I’ve been called one a few times) who just post repetitive drivel and they really can’t complain when someone tells them to shut up (in many different ways). In fact I think one or two revel in the fact they can wind others up from behind their keyboard. In real life they wouldn’t dare say half the things they say on line.

We thought racism had gone out of football but it’s still simmering under the surface. Unfortunately some people were just brought up to be racist. Thank god I had parents who weren’t.

Going back to anonymity - I see Elon has challenged Humza to take him to court over calling him a racist. Basically saying he has his DM’s to prove he really is.

Bluffing? I doubt it.

Worlds gone mad need to be careful what we say on here now,
Alioski would definitely have finished on the podium in the mens 100m in Paris.

I would imagine that the ones being released would be those pretty near the end of their sentence or eligibile for parole, or those guilty of quite minor infractions.
Your big mistake is assuming that "dangerous" criminals would be those released.

But then again, I have zero proof of any of this - just like YOU.

I have a friend who works in the Scottish Prison service and as far as he knows atm it will be those approaching the end of their sentence and also only certain offenses, they haven't had solid instructions only guidelines so far and are waiting on further instructions

Facebook Twitter and tiictok some of the worst inventions ever

TikTok should be banned. It's just a pathway for an entire generation to be diagnosed (or not) with ADHD ffs. 30 second clips of morons thinking/pretending/believing they're famous, all talking shyite for attention.

"Your big mistake is assuming that "dangerous" criminals would be those released."

We saw lots of kids in Japan and Thailand making videos for tik Tok. They are a bloody menace! Everywhere we went there were morons posing in matching clothes and pulling stupid faces.

Nobody wants to do a honest days work these days. Social media has made it easy to make money without having to do anything serious with their lives.

Sad because a huge majority of them will end up self diagnosing as depressed.

when the home office pump money into the radicalisation programme, they are as concerned about right wing radicalisation as they are about islamic radicalisation, it's called ERWT. LASIT is not considered as much of a threat (Left Wing, Anarchist and Single-Issue Terrorism). The government run programme to attempt people becoming groomed into any form of terrorist related activity, this is a stark and concerning fact 19% of the 6,817 people referred to Prevent were
considered by police to be “extreme Right Wing
concern”, considerably higher than the 11% with
perceived “Islamist concerns”. All of them are scary. The rhetoric that's being pumped out by the likes of Matthew Hankinson, Mark Collett, Laura Melia and her lovely husband, who is currently in prison, we should all be scared of. People post Farage's posts in jest but this is where we are heading.

Some ridiculous comments on here. Of the the whole think kicked off because the far right blamed Muslims + blacks for the killing of the poor little girls and attacked these people without any concern or care.

We have freedom of speech in the UK; it's written into our law in the 1998 Human Rigts Act. But rights come with responsibilities (I appreciate that's a concept some on here can’t take or aren’t not familiar with); there's a requirement not to incite criminality or spread hatred online. We find society works better that way.

Absolutely spot on! People think freedom of speech allows them to incite violence and make racist comments.

Quite rightly they are taken to task if they do that.

Things are all strange at the moment. We see a guy jailed for sharing three FB memes that have been doing the rounds for months and do not incite violence as far as I can remember.

Then historically (which evidently they can still come after you for) we have a guy who seemed to want someone he doesn’t like (Jan Moir the journalist) thrown under a train - Our Health Secretary Wes Steeting.

Then we have another guy wanting to “poor whatever I can get my hands on over a white suprematist” - our Foreign Secretary David Lammy.

Should they be taken to task over this based on the laws that Labour seem to be enacting right now?

It’s a very strange place we seem to have ended up in. Almost like the 1984 bus has just arrived 40 years late.
