Brits Warned Merely "Retweeting" Information About Riots Could Be A Criminal Offence
UK authorities have warned people that merely retweeting information about the riots could lead to criminal charges.
Yes, really.
Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecutions, told Sky News that people do not even need to personally post the content themselves to be deemed to be committing an offence.
Parkinson said social media users could be guilty of “incitement to racial hatred” if they post “insulting or abusive” content that is “likely to stir up racial hatred.”
