You would think examples like this would demonstrate to you that your thinking was wrong, but instead you just double down on it.

We already have enough evidence of people in the UK getting arrested for saying things on social media.

Generally, _inciting violence_. I mean, agree with that being punishable or not, you've got to admit that it is in a different _category_ to calling some dickhead a dickhead.

Is it for saying dickhead? Or is it for things like making terroristic threats and spreading racial hatred?

No, there are examples of people saying things that break a law getting arrested.

There seems to be this bizarre belief that it's fine to engage in incitement to violence, harassment or stalking, as long as it's done on social media.

It's not. They would be illegal via phone calls and they're still illegal on X or Facebook.
