When UK Twitter users are jailed for saying they dont like black migrants, how do police get their address?

[P]

from Twitter if Twitter is American, what if Twitter in USA refused to give their address to UK police in respect for the users privacy and free speech?
.
Anyone know?

[littlemiss]

No they would probably contact American police wait for permission to arrest you, when they get permission they would go over to America and arrest you i think

I did not know there was a law that forbids you to dislike black migrants. You can dislike who you want, I don't like marmite

[Cephalopod]

You're being disingenerous in the extreme, they didn't just say " they don't like black migrants", as that is NOT a crime.

So, what did they say?

[Duffer]

The ISP will have the details and inform the police upon request.

Can you give me a link to anyone who has been jailed for saying "I don't like black migrants"?
I think it's something you made up. People are only brought to account in law if their postings are threatening or grossly offensive.

As people stupid enough to post crap are usually stupid enough to use their own names, it's hardly difficult to trace them, especially if you're a trained detective.

Dunno, Probably through ISP , Tracking/Tracing Programs/sites, and through twitter them self for supplying the IP. I do not know much how they track the IP to the specific house and have never bothered.

I do not use Facebook, or Twitter, Partly because when bebo was popular it was a addiction to have most loves on your page, and most friends, then there was the e-hatred and all that. Now with twitter and Facebook i do not even want to use my accounts i made due to people getting fined for typing "Go back to your own country" Like.... come off it how is that offensive? and someone in the EPL should not cry over something like that when you are meant to be a role model for kids as well as being a rich person for playing a sports game. The Tom Daley tweet was another one, apparently nobody is entitled to give their opinion about someone letting down there parents or what ever it was for only getting a bronze medal. That can come across "harsh" but it is not offensive enough to get done for it... if someone said it in a pub it would be called "Pub banter", on online you get classed as a "Troll" and is classed as a criminal?

Also, these people getting done are normally celebrity vs celebrity or celebrity vs random normal person.If you have heard of ANONYMOUS they are helping to get people to teach randoms how to hide your identity online by using VPNs, Proxys and all that shit. But Facebook TOS states you need to use real identity to be part of it, therefor that's how they get peoples address. Number of websites teach you also, but the free ones are said to not fully hide identity, and the paid ones can be the same as well as expensive.

But people should not have to resort to fake information, and rerouted IPs to just be able to have free speech on the internet so i think they are fucking nutcases and that is why i do not use Facebook, Twitter or a vpn because i have nothing to hide or want to be banged up for a stupid law.
They are changing it anyways or have changed it so that less people are going to be arrested for stupid hissy fits on the internet, and i think they used courts to get twitter to give out a address to them one time so do not know how you are going to tell twitter not to give someone a IP, when they have stricter laws coming in in America such as SOPA and all that shite.

I Do not use a VPN
I do not use twitter
I Do not use Facebook.

Id rather just laugh at Reddit and yahoo questions and watch YouTube, than use social networking to have a argument with a friend or a random person and be classed as a criminal for using something that could turn into extremism/racism or hatred to get done for it. Just remember when you are drunk, nearly everyone has a video camera phone now so if you are going to joke about in public places if filmed you are going to turn into that next my tram experience video even though you did not mean it that way.

If you have not noticed, the government is there to make people feel safe as well as being scared of them, so until people rise up to them in the UK, probably not for another century at this rate there is nothing you can do about it other than hide your identity as much as you can, although if you buy stuff online this is pretty much impossible.

All global (and local) public networks are required by law to keep details of their users and their usage (inputs) for 1 year (some keep records longer than 1 year). These must be made available to any authority (such as police, border control, FDA etc) who have a need of that information and any other person that can get a legal warrant issued. That it is why it is so easy for the scum that trawl social networks with their venom and hatred, to be arrested, thank goodness. An arrestable offence is publishing anything that can be deemed offensive to society in general, or targeted at a specific member of society, or group.
