@ecksmc she tried desperately, but guess what? The gaslighting was...gaslighting

@killingfloorman still some got reported and JK did post a challenge to polis to arrest here so, obviously they won't go after her with all the publicity surrounding this and her 🤷‍♂️

That's the issue you seem to miss here

Police are overworked as is now they have to look at stoopid posts from people to determine if they are hateful or not that's the issue here

@ecksmc c'mon man you're posting headlines from the Scottish Daily Mail ffs. I didn't say you were gaslighting, i said all this is a made up storm in a teacup as was proven in practice. The law is not at all controversial and has well thought through and laid out procedures to be implemented. Rowling was looking to be a martyr and even the polis just laughed at her.

The police are not looking at any more stupid posts today than they were last week.

@ecksmc remember all reports are vetted by a wide range of sensible organizations before the ones likely to be hate speech are referred to polis

@killingfloorman and I've also posted articles where same officer was quoted 🤷‍♂️

reports that more than 3,000 complaints have been received so far under the new legislation

Also - non-crime hate incident is recorded when an incident does not meet the threshold for a crime but is perceived to be “motivated (wholly or partly) by malice and ill-will towards a social group”, according to Police Scotland guidance

So JKs posts were/are deemed as malice and ill willed -
