Britain's Grooming Gangs:
Grey182: "Just remember, the British government wanted to jail Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights…
Trump’s win stopped it."
I think this has something to do with Britain's "grooming gangs" protests and the potential for Americans commenting on it to violate British laws on "Malicious Communications", if Americans use language Brits consider less than "politically correct".
This all began on August 9, 2024 when London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, said they would "throw the full force of the law at people" committing crimes online.
“Whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you."
In response, on August 23, 2024, US Congressman Keith Self (R-Texas) warned the Brits against attempting to arrest & extradite Americans over issues of free speech online.
London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley:
On January 3, 2025, Elon Musk also weighed-in, criticizing the British government for its failure to bring "grooming gang" perpetrators to justice.
Musk's personal concern has to do with his position as owner of Twitter and defender of free speech there.
On January 7, Donald Trump brushed aside criticisms of Musk by Brits saying Musk is "doing a very good job".
To date, the Brits have made no effort to arrest or extradite Americans for exercising their rights of free speech online.
