false informations , even worst, newspapers publish false information ( rumors ) every day

So she has been arrested, not jailed. We don't know much about this specific case yet but this has nothing to do with a rant, like you said.

Ok, not a rant, a fake news...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A fake news meant to stir up racial hatred.

Lol, so ban every news... We have politicians telling worst thing that a simple fake news and no one riot. Maybe a thousand of rapes in one city could cause it. Here ONE rape is a news with the name and the nationality of the criminal. Why the people that havr covered that is not in jail?

She has not been jailed and we don't know what she posted.

Obviously there is no ground to ban every news but I agree something should be done about politicians and media spurring hate.

About spreading hate? Like one thousand rapes in one city, like everyone have one friend/relative victim of it and the problem is spreading hate? I hope you are jocking. ( i'm talking about rotherham )

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I did not know about Rotherham, what's the link between the two?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The assault of the refugee hotel was in rotherham, and the riots were mostly in the north of england, in labour areas where the phenomenon of the asian grooming gang were most prevalent. I remember rotherham cause it was the most in(famous) case and also one of the places of the worst riots.

But what's the link with the arrested woman?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It is a link that the reasons of the riots were far more deep that a single tweet. The world is a little bit more complicated that button-> action.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But no one is saying that a single tweet started all this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

No one? The narrative is : fake news and tweets started all this. We need to regulate the internet. As the french revolution was started by the statements of Marie-Antoinette.

You are right that there are underlying causes that needs to be addressed. That's why it spread so much and so fast. But that doesn't make racially motivated fake news OK.
