Freedom of Speech?

It appears that freedom of speech via Facebook and Twitter is now used to criminalise users.
The UK already has imprisoned users for "inciting social unrest" and now a young man has been found guilty of "inciting racial hatred" by the "thought police". His comment about the collapse of a footballer was deemed to be criminal and the man found himself in jail for 56 days? Strangely, in a country that is plagued by online trolls and bullies, the law turns an innocent 'typically immature' tweet into a major 'thought crime'. This may seem unimportant but we must remember that freedoms gradually eroding will lead to a totalitarian ' big brother' state. When silly comments are expanded to be a 'crime', then we loose grip on reality. Free thought becomes the next target for the 'thought police', doors get kicked in, people are unjustly criminalised....our future society becomes a prison. The Orwellian nightmare becomes the norm.
Its time for everyone to stand up.....stop this madness, before we become 'criminals' for daring to think differently!
