We don't even have an extradition treaty...

To put this in context, the wife of a yank secret service official killed a teenager because she drove on the wrong side of the road. She's free as a fucking bird and has faced little to no consequence.

Honestly, everyone would be better off deleting social media, it really rots people's minds.


That could be due to 'diplomatic immunity' rather than an inability to extradite. Or maybe some other clusterfuck reason.

It's obviously not gonna happen, but can't blame them for wanting to arrest these rightie agitators. No doubt they'll be the same ones instigating a second Jan 6th attack on the capitol when Trump loses again, too.

Americans are the most toxic people on the internet, they believe US laws apply to the whole world and they feel they're untouchable, so they attack at please and believe they can go without any repercussions.
Ok but what does this has to do with Britain police's bullshit?

Everybody is far right these times...
:teach:
I didn't even say "far right" there, I just said "rightie." Granted though, anyone dumb enough to risk jail time on behalf of a billionaire with a victim complex does have to be pretty far right.

The fascist left has always hated free speech. The UK is looking a lot like 1930's Germany.
Meanwhile.....another little girl and woman have just been been stabbed in a tea shop in london:

Maybe they offended their attacker by the way they were sipping on their earl grey.

I wonder how Two Teir Keir how will try to down play this one? You get prison time for just shouting at the police (as long as you are white) as a protester found out last week, so I wonder what time Stabby Mcstabby face will get once he is sentenced?

How about this? We don't use social media. Or... don't say anything negative on it for that matter. Let's return to our roots and use the internet for cat videos and entertainment!

So let me get this straight, brits want to extradite
Americans
residing in the USA
doing something on a US social media platform
because what they're doing is illegal in the UK?
No, because that's pretty much impossible. What CAN happen instead is that Americans in the UK can be imprisoned and extradited back to the US if they engage in stochastic and/or armchair terrorism. The fact that Xitter is US-based is irrelevant since their actions happen while inside the UK.

Kind of ironically how the only source of this news is a sociaal media tweet.
I'd ask for a proper source, but given this is the UK, media is pretty much the same apart from hearing the opinion of wealthy Brits.

There are a lot of these kind of billionaries these days.
Each one pushing its agenda?
Pretending they are not acting a fight.

Yep. This is why EU demand from Elon Musk to enforce more censorship or else they'll block twitter at EU countries. Apparently it wasn't enough for EU that there is an option for EU posters to report tweets that "violate EU laws". And yet they wonder why we call EU as the Fourth Reigh.

Say that to British police that uses social media to do their propaganda and threaten people over "mean" comments instead of focusing at real criminals they treat as innocents.
