      @@slug3856 her reasons were lies, she was intentionally using hate speech. She was acquitted on appeal for that particular crime having been convicted mainly because originally she chose to defend herself, the story is exaggerated - she wasn't fined and sentenced to community service, there was no fine and she was tagged for 8 weeks not a year. Do I think regardless of her true motif that what she did on this occasion should be a criminal offence? No. Was she lawfully arrested? Yes. Do I think the story was portrayed in an intentionally misleading fashion? Yes.

      This is so that they effectively get put into the same situation as a whole or worse than she was, because when you get a tag put on ya, you basically can't work. Have a curfew? Good luck getting a job that needs you for those other hours you are supposed to be at home. And since they have the money to just sit back and relax instead, take that away so they can't. The 5 years you mentioned I keep included because the societal damages done take time to recoup from.

      Silly comment, she spent a few weeks with the tag prior to her successful appeal - the original sentence was for costs plus 8 weeks tagged curfew. The conviction wasn't sound as was borne out by her successful appeal but one of the contributory factors to the wrong verdict being reached was Ms Russell's insistence on representing herself, she had a lawyer at the appeal.
      It should be noted that whilst in this particular instance the initial Court got it wrong in the three years following this the not so innocent Ms Russel was convicted a further 18 times for 28 offences, including multiple offences of criminal damage and battery, and multiple breaches of community orders and a Criminal Behaviour Order. She was then arrested and convicted for affray and carrying a bladed weapon when a member of the public stopped his car to assist Russell's girlfriend who Russel was assaulting in the street....she tan saying she was going to get her Dad but returned with a knife which she threatened the man with and when he got back in his car she actually stabbed the car and waved the knife at a 3 year old in the back seat.

    • @berkeleyblue4247

      Representing herself sure was silly. However, that case is still silly. And the appeal agreed with that. I can’t see how a judge can come to a guilty verdict even with the worst representation possible.
      Her crimes afterwards are also irrelevant. Your character might be usefull for deciding the severity of the punishment, they are completely irrelevant to whether you commited a crime in the first place.

      The thing is, absolute freedom of speech cannot coexist with other rights. Publicly calling for the extermination of all Jews, for example, violates the rights to religion and freedom from persecution. Therefore, freedom of speech can never be a blanket right in order to protect the wider society's safety, similarly to how criminals lose some of their rights.
      The problem is where to draw the line with it, removing all limitations will create more problems than it solves. That's like making all crimes legal to avoid the possibility of wrongful conventions.

    The source for the claim on arrests in Russia - which uses figures from 2017 - shows it refers to the number of criminal proceedings, rather than arrests.
    In the UK example, the figure - also from 2017 - is for arrests under the broader category of online malicious communications, not specifically for social media posts.
    But arrests are made for different reasons across the two countries, with Russian internet users facing far greater restrictions on their use of social media.

      Just saying the N word doesn't get anyone jailed. It usually all the other words around an N word that typically come with using the N word. i.e. threats to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness
      Right? I don't condone mean spiritedness, NOR do I wish to excuse it as JUST "free speech". Words do matter. Sure, the line between just being mean vs. making actual threats is quit vague depending what company you keep.

      This term, does not have any definition as provides by the law or the courts. To reiterate, an intentionally vague law will get you arrested, prosecuted and found guilty, on the whims of whatever police officer, prosecutor or judge is there at a given time.

    Not the dangers of posting on social media” but rather “the dangers of electing tyrants”

      You can't always see a tyrant coming until you've elected them. This is why it's important for the general populace to be armed without restrictions.

      More just idiots. Most politicians aren’t evil people trying to control the world, they are idiots who think they are geniuses. They just can’t think for themselves, they only try to please the general public and be as inoffensive as possible.

      Not the dangers of social media more the dangers of living in the UK anymore, and starting to go that way in the US.

      This is why the US has the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It protects all the other rights and freedoms from tyranny.

      Funnily enough its the 1st amendment clause that ensures that YT is seen as a private venue and thus able to enforce their own standards, just as a university or a bar likewise can enforce theirs
