The More Followers You Have; The More Time You Will Serve | Punished More For Being A Public Figure

New Sentencing Guidelines have been drafted in the UK that will allow judges to imprison people for up to 7 years if they commit public order offenses which includes "stirring racial hatred."
What does that even mean really? To make it worse, part of the guidelines are that if you have a large social media following you can actually face harsher penalties. We are facing a Black Mirror type future where courts will count up your followers to determine your level of punishment.

Censorship is on the rise and with new guidelines like these a bleak future isn't far off. You might be thinking that this will only affect the UK but dont forget, what happens there sometimes happens here a few years later.
