12k people a year thrown in prison for spicy tweets

So roughly 0.017% of the population.

"Spicy tweets" including:

sending false communications

sending threatening communications

sending or showing flashing images electronically to people with epilepsy intending to cause them harm (‘epilepsy trolling’)

encouraging or assisting serious self-harm

sending a photograph or film of a person’s genitals (‘cyberflashing’)

sharing or threatening to share intimate photographs or film

Or a lot more commonly - critique of immigration policy
