Should police investigate social media posts that celebrate someone's death?

Recent events have renewed debate over how police should respond to social media posts celebrating a person's death. Following the killing of former MP Ann Widdecombe, Police Scotland investigated posts praising her death, prompting discussion about the limits of free speech and criminal behaviour.

Supporters argue police should investigate posts that glorify violence or cause further harm to victims' families.

Critics say offensive comments are not always criminal and warn against unnecessary interference with freedom of expression.

The debate has raised questions about whether police should investigate social media posts that celebrate someone's death.
