And, in an update on the probe Thursday, British officials said they've arrested four in connection with the online attacks ... adding more arrests could be coming soon.
"We are working very closely with social media platforms, who are providing data we need to progress enquiries," British police official"If we identify that you are behind this crime, we will track you down and you will face the serious consequences of your shameful actions." Of course, in England, it's illegal to make racist statements or threats, as there's no First Amendment protection.
