What did they tweet, exactly?

I’m on my phone, so it’s a little bit difficult for me to find clear examples, but I think this post talks about some of those freedom of speech violations.

I might be completely wrong, but it seems like news articles are not repeating the messages that caused the arrest. They just seem to be reporting that the arrest happened and high-level description of the content.

Are there theoretical tweets for which you believe arrests are warranted?

  • Inciting violence

    • I get that we have laws on the books making this illegal, but I still 100% disagree that the laws are constitutional.

      People can say whatever they want without hurting anyone. In the case of incitement of violence, the issue is the person(s) who actually committed the violence, not a tweet online.
