Calling for an attack on a person or persons IS the crime. It was a crime before social media existed as well.

It's fascinating - I seem to remember seeing this interaction happen time and time again with GP. I wonder why they keep leaving out the calls for arson.

Inciting murder doesn’t count as free speech _anywheree_.
