I think most here would be fine with reading slightly worse grammar and spelling along with the certainly that they aren't reading AI stuff.
Finally, my time has come!

These 'non-crime hate incident' investigations and other 'hate crime' investigations seem to be clearly directed at white heritage British and not at minorities. Its why there are claims of 'two tier policing'. There's plenty of YouTube clips out there comparing similar behavior between the majority/minorities and the differing official response.
I didn't see the need for American style free speech norms until I saw the path that the UK has chosen to go down. Other Western nations are struggling with how to respond with mass migration and multi-culturalism and suppression of the heritage majority seems to be cheap low hanging fruit for their governments.
The larger problem is that England in particular has always used suppression of speech (See 'D' Notices) liberally to keep the peace. This was culturally supported as traditionally the English have by and large enjoyed their peace and quiet. This vestigial cultural limb has now metastasized into something else entirely.
I just don't think the UK govt has the funds to police itself correctly so it is using its traditional tool of suppression of communication instead of dealing with the root cause of ethnic tension and cultural instability.
Edit:

This isn't quite accurate. It's more because there was a significant degree of trust that such non-legislated 'powers' (which were more of a gentleman's agreement) would not be abused and only used in genuine cases of national security. It still created a cultural precedent.
Also London was known for having one of the highest known levels of cctv surveillance in times past. Again, this was a sign of great trust in govt and authority. It was accepted on the presumption that such things would not be abused.
I played a few MUDs in the mid 90's. Real social experience. Its also where I learnt about ganking, PvP and trolling in general.
First thing kids do with games like that is griefing. Fun times.
MUD's were kinda proto-mmorpgs, but really were just colourful chatrooms where you could fiddle with the content while meeting and catching up with people. Also back in the day, the internet was a new frontier so moderation was very loose. I got exposed to stuff that probably wasn't normal for kids to see until well into adulthood.
