Because the socialist state of California sounds good to you? Or terrorists throwing Molotov cocktails from bridges onto police cars is a normality in this world and should be applauded or falls under Freedom of Speech? Have you seen the images of chaos and destruction caused by the rioters?

Chaos and destruction??? In California 2025? Are you serious?
Were you around for the Rodney King riots? Now, that was chaos and destruction.

Clearly not on the same scale but probably would count as, "Chaos and destruction" by UK standards!

The events in California definitely count as "chaos and destruction" by Canadian standards as well, but that is irrelevant. There are significant differences between Canadian and UK social and legal standards which simply do not apply anywhere in the USA. For example, in Canada, the rights of the many outweigh the rights of the few; in the US, it seems as that is turned around. Also, in Canada, one cannot say whatever one wishes -- if a "reasonable person could reasonably conclude" that some particular statement might induce another person to commit a hate crime, then the person making that statement can be prosecuted for hate speech; that is not possible under US law.

Very close to Incitement to Violence (or riot or insurrection) which are illegal on this side of the border.

Even though I myself am a harsh critic of the Israeli government I thought they should have pulled the feed on that one.

Yo England, what the frick is happening over there?

Calling someone a muppet will cause them alarm and distress and is enough for 4 coppers to go arrest the person who said the damning word? Really?

You can't make it up for comedy. The UK.

"Why am I in cuffs because of something he shared, then I shared?"

"Because someone has been caused anxiety based upon your social media post. That's why you've been arrested."

I think you have it wrong.

The crime is insulting muppets.

Oh, a good one! Definitely an insult / thought crime.🚔

It's getting worse. You're actively being censored.
UK Is Banning Websites Now

YouTube video. Hardly an authorative source. I don't go to YouTube or X for news indeed since Musk bought it I don't look at the latter at all even to see why people are posting links to it. I did look at the OfCom site though. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/statement-protecting-people-from-illegal-harms-online
