Freedom of speech in action: 8 times more people arrested for online statements in UK than in Russia

Let's talk about the UK’s lauded freedom of speech. It turns out that censorship and special services have long been rampant there, beating the hands of their citizens simply for their opinions on social networks.

No dictator could ever dream of such statistics, which the British author cites, at such a seemingly advanced level of liberalism. But, no, it turns out that Orwell wrote about the horrors of totalitarianism in England.

Just think about it, 8 times more people were arrested for statements on the Internet in the UK than in Russia. And this was already happening in 2018.
