They are focusing on the amount of bile that is spouted on social media. This despite there being no link between the murder and people saying bad things on twitter. The worry is that we have the most reactionary right wing government ever and they will take this opportunity to clamp down on our freedom of expression.
I have no problem with holding folk accountable for what they say. We have defamation laws and others covering incitement to violence already and there should be comebacks if you are naughty. But Priti Patel and Dominic Raab should not be anywhere near changes to our legal system. Its very worrying.
