The British authorities are cracking down on those who are simply SHARING or RETWEETING riot footage on social media.

UK reposting content = jail.

🇬🇧 Goodbye Freedom.

Hello surveillance.

UK media warn reposting other people’s social media content related to riots could be a criminal offense, and that there are teams of people scouring the internet “looking for this sort of thing.”

British police are arresting people who even retweet or share footage of Britain’s riots. They don’t want you to see what’s going on. https://t.co/9yWqZasXU7

BREAKING: The British government is warning that it can be an "offence" to share or repost videos of the riots.

So they are criminalizing journalism now?

Britain has gone full Soviet.
