BRITISH COPS NET 106 POSTS… ARREST FEAR

Britain’s online-speech dragnet is widening fast: a specialist police unit set up to track internet sentiment has now referred 106 social media posts to local forces for possible arrest, including 50 in June alone, as outrage over the Henry Nowak case and earlier Southport riots keeps spilling onto the streets and into police action. The Daily Telegraph says the National Internet Intelligence Investigations unit is still in its “early stages,” but critics see a mounting crackdown after posts tied to public anger, protests and accusations of two-tier policing have already led to mass arrests and a fierce new battle over what Britons can say online.
