That it was all in very poor taste is beyond reasonable opinion.
But a criminal prosecution because it was aired on social media - a woke motivated travesty. There are far more generally offensive things on social media none of which seem to generate the same level of assiduous concern for offence.
This simply provides further evidence of the ineffectual control that government exercises over social media. Easy to prosecute Joe Public, not so easy to go for FB, Twitter etc all of whom can afford expensive lawyers to fight their corner.
It is likely to do nothing for the behaviour of the objectionable who generate this sort of material except to drive them underground to avoid personal scrutiny.
