A British national received 18 months imprisonment for posting two tweets that reached barely 33 viewers. Authorities labeled him a threat to security, and the court sided with the prosecution. Meanwhile, across the UK, individuals convicted of violent crimes receive lighter sentences. The situation grew more striking when examining judicial decisions from the prior year: a judge dismissed charges against a defendant caught possessing child exploitation materials, allowing him to walk free. The disparity raises uncomfortable questions about how different categories of speech and conduct are weighted in contemporary legal systems—particularly when online expression faces severe penalties while demonstrably dangerous offenders receive lenient treatment. This pattern has sparked broader conversations about judicial consistency and the boundaries of acceptable discourse.

Wow, a tweet viewed by 33 people can get 18 months? This logic is just completely absurd.

Honestly, this judicial system is really absurd. Just posting a couple of tweets and getting banned for 18 months? Only 33 people saw it... Meanwhile, those who truly harm society can actually walk away unscathed? This logic makes no sense.

Just two tweets and 33 people saw it, and they were forcibly banned for 18 months? This legal system is really hopeless. Child exploitation is a serious crime, yet judges dismiss it and it's no big deal. Have they lost their minds?

Can two tweets with 33 likes result in an 18-month sentence? Is this judge out of their mind?

ngl this is the darkest kind of protocol failure... 33 viewers gets you 18 months but actual predators walk free? that's not justice, that's selective extraction of power. the system's running a sandwich attack on free speech while letting the real exploiters slip through. absolutely broken incentive structure.
