One of the biggest problems I have with people being prosecuted for things they've said on Twitter is it isn't consistent and most of the people that are prosecuted have been at the centre of a media frenzy stirred up by the usual tabloids and so the only reason the police have decided to take action is to make themselves look better and as if they're doing something about it. That in itself is totally unfair because if you're going to prosecute one person for a racist joke on Twitter (that's another thing...there's been so many pathetic examples where quite frankly I think it's laughable it's been made out to be a criminal offence), then what about all the death threats to celebrities, millions of jokes retweeted and reposted from the likes of Sickipedia, general insults, etc etc? You couldn't possibly prosecute everyone so it seems pretty unfair to me to single out people who've been the centre of some exaggerated media campaign in order make out this kind of stuff is being dealt with when in reality it's not.
