Original Note:
You cannot be arrested in the UK for just a social media post. Recent arrests in the UK have been for the incitement of racial hatred. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cpdlvz80pjzt Such instances would also be illegal in the United States of America, however they would be labelled as the incitement of violence. https://www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2020/12/Fact-Sheet-on-Threats-Related-to-the-Election.pdf
