Sky News U.K. Tells People to Stop Sharing Riot Videos or Be Prosecuted: ‘It’s Not an Idle Threat’

EXCERPT:

THOMPSON: “Look, it's not an idle threat either because the Crown Prosecution Service were keen to point out that they've made a number of charges in relation to stirring up of racial hatred online, one of which this morning was for distributing a recording that could -- intending to stir up racial hatred. And so they are actually already bringing charges in relation to this sort of thing. So it's a very, very clear message based in the harsh reality, if you like, that if you do this kind of thing you are potentially committing a criminal offence. There he said it. They've got teams of people scouring the Internet looking for this sort of thing. And if you are in the business of sharing or re-tweeting, whatever platform it might be, potentially criminal material, well then you could find yourself prosecuted."
