What did you do during the genocide in Gaza? | Arwa Mahdawi
When future generations read about Gaza with horror and wonder how we allowed a livestreamed genocide to happen, what will you say?
www.theguardian.com

“Police charged Strecker with two offences under the Terrorism Law 2002, even though she had posted “I don’t support Hamas” and “this is a call for non-violent action”. In other words, you can now be prosecuted if police decide you secretly meant the opposite of what you actually said.”
Someone in the police dislikes an opinion you shared online, therefore, they scrutinise everything you’ve ever posted to see if they can use something against you
It’s worse when you consider they didn’t find anything incriminating, but went ahead with the prosecution anyway
