So serious question for the Brits: If your spouse started tweeting at you with "persistent" messages that caused you "annoyance, inconvenience, or needless anxiety" couldn't they also be arrested and charged? Doubt there's anything in UK law that would prevent that, eh? hmmmmm. https://twitter.com/thehomoarchy/status/1168392636073267200 …

It doesn't matter whether I can name a case - it is written into your law: "annoyance", same as ours. The 1st doesn't nullify that, but I don't even think that is the real difference. It is that in the UK, people as a whole are not as lawyered up and litigious as you lot 1/2

You seriously underestimate how much the First Amendment protects us. You should read up on that. If we didn't have it, you're right--our jails would be overflowing with wrongthinkers because of how litigious we are. But on free speech, we're way better off here.
