A meme creator offers to pay legal fees for anyone arrested for posting memes, citing a Texas man charged with felony for sharing one and a UK arrest of Pete North. He argues memes are protected speech and compares them to political cartoons that fueled the American Revolution.
If you get arrested for posting a meme, I will pay your legal fees. People are getting arrested in the UK for posting memes. Now that trend is spreading to the US. A man in Texas was arrested for a third-degree felony for posting a meme, which begs the question: are memes free speech? I certainly think so, but there's plenty of people who disagree with me, like the entire British government. Across the pond in the UK, the thought police have been arresting people for posting bangers. Elon is not joking here. Most recently, this guy Pete North was arrested in England for posting an he Hamas me. The police literally showed up at his door, took his phone, checked through the memes, everything. I don't know about you, but I remember a little thing called the Revolutionary War where we declared our freedom from England, and now we're following them arresting people for posting memes. This country was founded on the principles of free speech by satirists, cartoonists, and literal OG memelords. You look at political cartoons, they're just the pre-internet memes. As the CEO of memelord.com, I feel like it's my duty to protect these people's rights to post memes. So if you or somebody you know gets arrested for posting memes, Tag me and I'll pay for your legal battle.
