Britain Decides Viral Protest Clips Need Prosecutors | Reclaim The Net
The Crown Prosecution Service (#CPS) has issued new guidance advising prosecutors to consider how protest chants, banners, and symbols might be perceived by a wider audience online, including via social media.
The guidance came two days before two major London protests in 2026 and emphasizes the intent, context, and potential for online dissemination of protest actions. Critics argue it introduces a chilling effect by making protesters self-censor, as awareness of being filmed is now treated as a factor in potential charges. The move, released on a Friday afternoon, is seen as a strategy to influence behavior without direct prosecution.
