Here’s Googles response:
Yes, arrests for social media activity occur in the UK under laws like the Communications Act 2003 and Malicious Communications Act 1988, targeting offenses such as sending offensive/menacing messages, false communications, hate speech, or child grooming, with thousands arrested annually, though charges and convictions vary, and new laws like the Online Safety Act 2023 add further regulatory scope.

What exactly are you asking for? The offending posts are probably deleted. Do you mistrust Google?

Calling for an attack on a person or persons IS the crime. It was a crime before social media existed as well.

Can’t even advocate arson and murder anymore; it’s political correctness gone mad!
Inciting murder doesn’t count as free speech _anywheree_.

It's fascinating - I seem to remember seeing this interaction happen time and time again with GP. I wonder why they keep leaving out the calls for arson.

I’m convinced these things are dissolving their users’ brains at this point. Absolutely bizarre behaviour.
