The social media surveillance unit marks a dangerous shift toward policing opinions and controlling free speech in Britain. Rather than addressing underlying concerns about immigration policy, the government chooses to monitor what citizens post online. This represents authoritarian overreach that prioritizes surveillance over genuine frontline policing solutions.
