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 …

If you phoned police in any US city & reported someone was persistently "annoying" you on Twitter (unless they were actually threatening physical harm), they'd just laugh. Anyone can file a lawsuit of course, but it would be a fool's errand. The UK has actual Thought Police.

We have freedom of conscience and expression under various laws, and equality rights under law, but the police will ignore that we have these rights as they will try and get away with pursuit of their target regardless and it is rare for them to get any legal pushback.
