if they quoted Erdogan, I might give it to you, but 2Pac is too far removed. not everyone has to know all the lyrics to every rap song to distinguish between participating in pop culture and bomb threats by the way

Two separate cases. The "bomb threat" I quoted here in full, it is right in front of your eyes. Make of it what you will of course.

You're welcome to explain to me how a teenager quoting snoop on her instagram is deserving of a court case whether somebody is familiar with the quote or not as opposed to Ahmadinejad quoting 2pac.

Or the Taliban being explicitly allowed to stay on the platform for that matter: https://www.mediaite.com/news/twitter-says-taliban-spokesman...

the case should have been dropped by the prosecutor without going to court, someone was incompetent

how do you think this is on par with Turkey consistently persecuting ---dissidents---?

The legislators were the only ones incompetent - otherwise, sadly, no. This is their current system working as intended.

Scotland is a small place so can't find much for you other than this one local explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvmF1peteGE

You can now meme yourself to jail now. No need to even go so far as the head of state, any random individual can feign offense at you to land you in legal trouble.
