UK Police arrest British journalist for posting ‘malinformation’ about Ukraine, Justin Trudeau under Online Safety Act

The government can order the arrest or detention of anyone said to be “hateful” or judged by fact checkers to be posting “misinformation.”

One problem - the Online Safety Act hasn't been given Royal Assent yet so if they've been arrested under that, it's an illegal arrest and Thornton should have his lawyer take action against the police force who arrested him.

But yes, once it becomes law, this will become a regular occurrence in the UK for anyone who dissents or criticises the Government.
