I am related by marriage to a Turkish journalist who retweeted something at the start of covid that was mildly critical of Erdogan. He was arrested, spent a month in prison, then released.

That's sad to hear. We are not quite there yet, ours is more like "you get fired and can't get another job and be in respectable company." But I am sure some Americans would like us to be there.

Fair point, I concede. We truly are in a "show me the man, I'll show the the crime" era.
