Your comment earlier.
Edit: also, not much change in the last 10 years in prison population. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn04...
https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/select-communications-off...
12k people a year thrown in prison for spicy tweets
So roughly 0.017% of the population.
"Spicy tweets" including:
sending false communications
sending threatening communications
sending or showing flashing images electronically to people with epilepsy intending to cause them harm (‘epilepsy trolling’)
encouraging or assisting serious self-harm
sending a photograph or film of a person’s genitals (‘cyberflashing’)
sharing or threatening to share intimate photographs or film
Or a lot more commonly - critique of immigration policy

That link says “12k arrests”, not thrown to prison! It’s also not clear how reliable that data is
