It doesn't happen much. Almost all those things you hear about are either campaigns of harassment or incitement to violence.
Sometimes, rarely, it's the police having a discussion to let someone know what the law is in order to prevent that person committing an offence. And even this discussion with potential offenders is probably going to end after the police mishandling of the Henry Miller case: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/miller-v...

I rarely hear about those. Almost all of the cases that make international news are about police "checking someone's thinking" or arresting someone for posting lyrics or satire.

Sounds exactly like something I'd expect from the US. Over policing is a problem that have over there. I was asking the parent poster about this specific point, because they were disappointed with how the police use their resources. I was curious how they felt about police resources being used to deal with tweets instead of something else. Personally it would annoy the hell out of me if the police weren't doing their jobs actually doing police work, but somehow still found the resources to police mean tweets. Those priorities seem backwards to me.
