    Hundreds of arrests are being made of subjects using (and abusing) the Twitter. I believe that figure ought to be in the thousands! Don't you? Make any speech that is remotely offensive a felony, or at the very least a simple offence! That will help our society become even stronger than it is now, and also help the children learn about life in the 18th Century.

      Or, looking at it from another angle, we could examine these utterly asinine laws, and decriminalise speech like the rest of the English speaking world did a century ago (US, Aus, Can etc).

      How many tweeters were arrested in HK (part of the PRC) last year? I would guess very few.
