“We have in custody, a man who retweeted a retweet of a retweet on the site Twitter. He is being detained and questioned for the retweet of the retweet of a retweet and will be held for another 48 hours,” DCI Richard Clebbins, told the Sun newspaper.
The man was arrested in a dawn raid in the early hours of Sunday morning after the alleged retweets were deemed offensive by three Twitter users, and these complaints were retweeted across the network using a hash tag that cannot be mentioned here for legal reasons.
“This man retweeted the retweet of the retweet within a retweet that was then promoted with a hash tag and retweeted subsequently by others who will also be arrested if found to be retweeting the retweet of the retweet,” another police source revealed.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour anyone would think we were now living in a police state!!!!
