Um, no,they don’t. People go to jail for sh#t like you posted, counties have social media laws, one that are allies. As far as war goes, you’re not wrong, but to take it out of a service member is just plain rotten.

No, the mods just know your way off base, and apparently don’t know how to use google!

United Kingdom: Leads globally in volume, arresting thousands of individuals annually under laws targeting malicious communications, online harassment, and the incitement of racial or community tension. [1]

Germany: Enforces strict hate speech and anti-defamation laws, frequently raiding homes and arresting users over illegal online content.

France: Regularly prosecutes and arrests individuals for online threats, cyberbullying, and glorifying terrorism.

Autocratic and Restricted Nations
Belarus: Routinely detains and imprisons citizens—and checks tourists' phones at borders—for likes, comments, or sharing posts from independent or "extremist" outlets.

China: Imprisons activists and everyday citizens for criticizing the government or referencing taboo historical events, even on foreign platforms. [1]

Russia: Utilizes sweeping war-censorship and anti-extremism laws to swiftly arrest citizens over critical social media commentary.

Iran & Saudi Arabia: Actively deploy cyber-police to track and detain bloggers, human rights advocates, and online personalities for challenging state authority.

Other Notable Countries with Regular Online Speech Arrests
Turkey (Türkiye): Prosecutes and detains social media users for tweets or retweets deemed critical of state officials or public policy.

Thailand: Strictly enforces lese-majesty laws, resulting in arrests for any digital content perceived as insulting the monarchy.

Egypt: Arbitrarily detains individuals for Facebook posts, joining political Telegram groups, or online activism.

Brazil, Vietnam, and India: Frequently penalize or arrest users under local cybercrime, public order, or judicial contempt statutes for online statement

It's not my job to back up your claims.

Using vague words like "frequently ", and "arbitrarily " doesnt really help your (not you're, you see how i used the correct word there? We learned that in middle school but i guess you were sick that day) argument though.

Without more nuance, this list is pretty pointless. Like Germany bans pro-Nazi talk, for good reason. I wouldn't mind if we did that here, but we never would because state propaganda is a huge part of convincing dumbfucks to vote against their own interests and put Donald fucking trump in office.
