Signal is aware of the blocks.

“Signal is being blocked in Venezuela and Russia. The app is a popular choice for encrypted messaging and people trying to avoid government censorship, and the blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries…”

Are people really jailed for rants in the UK? I’ve only seen stories of actual call to violence.

The line between rants and call for violence is quite blurred in some cases IMHO

So she has been arrested, not jailed. We don’t know much about this specific case yet but this has nothing to do with a rant, like you said.

Ok, not a rant, a fake news…

A fake news meant to stir up racial hatred.

Lol, so ban every news… We have politicians telling worst thing that a simple fake news and no one riot. Maybe a thousand of rapes in one city could cause it. Here ONE rape is a news with the name and the nationality of the criminal. Why the people that havr covered that are not in jail?

She has not been jailed and we don’t know what she posted.

Obviously there is no ground to ban every news but I agree something should be done about politicians and media spurring hate.
