"The free world"

Let's say this is a correct statistic, idk if it is but ill take your word for it. For one, the UK is far more densely populated, which surely plays a role in arrests and law enforcement. Secondly, a single arbitrary mark of arrests does not prove that the UK is authoritarian and definitely does not prove that Russia is not authoritarian. Other statistics are far more relevant to that point. Thirdly, in the source you provided, the one about the UK, it says "About half of the investigations were dropped before prosecutions".

Yeah, this is a nothing burger.

Man who doesn't live in Uk thinks Uk isn't an authoritarian state with horrific undefined greyzone speech laws.

Aye, piss aff

Aye, that's not a response to any of my points. I did not say that UK isn't authoritarian, all I said was that this isn't proof of that.

Evidence of authoritarian speech laws that get thousands of people arrested every year is not evidence that the UK is authoritarian?

I bet the next thing you'll say is the water on the a boat is not proof that the boat got wet.

Like I said, one arbitrary statistic proves only that you saw this on a random Facebook group and ran with it. I’m not arguing with you on whether or not the UK is authoritarian, you’re arguing with yourself.

That’s not addressing any of my points

You never made a point, silly.

But I did. If you read my original messages I made several. You can critique my points but pretending they don’t exist makes you look silly.

Imagine paying people to scroll through twitter.

Lol

The links to those sources appear to be broken.

Anyway. Specific, credible death/rape threats, persistent stalking, etc. should always be taken seriously by authorities. Domestic violence has nothing to do with political speech, and cracking down on it is only evidence of good policing.

Without more information about the specific kinds of social media posts that are at issue here, the comparison isn’t complete.

And I'm pretty sure Russia haven't arrested as much people because many Russians are Fascist and not many are openly communist
