Part 3/13:
The UK has seen over 12,000 arrests for mild social media posts, a statistic that underscores the terrifying extent of government overreach. People are being detained for liking posts, viewing certain content, or expressing opinions that dissent from mainstream narratives. This level of repression recalls George Orwell’s nightmare, where freedom of speech is dismantled under the guise of safety and social order. Watchers are increasingly convinced that the UK phenomenon portends a future where authoritarian control becomes normalized globally.
