UK: A Brit posted photo of him holding a shotgun while on holiday in Florida, when he returned home UK police arrested him, seized his devices, jailed him overnight for violating the 1986 Public Order Act. The process was the punishment. After sharing a photo of himself posing with a legally possessed shotgun at a Florida shooting range, a British man was arrested, locked in a cell overnight, interrogated, and lectured that he “must understand how posts make people feel.” Police seized his computer and phone, wiping out his ability to work. Weeks later, all charges were quietly dropped because they were baseless from the start. Critics say the ordeal proves the UK has turned social media into a surveillance trap where innocent people are punished by process alone. h/t @Artemisfornow

Good Morning from #Germany, where factory orders have dropped by 7%—the biggest decline in a year. The slump was mainly driven by a sharp drop in large-scale orders for machines and vehicles like ships and planes. Without these big orders, the decline was still 2.7%. Germany’s industry has been struggling since mid-2022, hit by factors like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, weak Chinese demand, and the threat of US tariffs. Industrial production has now fallen back to 2005 levels.
