Sorry for reposting this comment but
Does anyone have any source for this info?
I'm not going to claim any of these are credible in any way, but there are a few articles like this one discussing the alleged arrest and tweets allegedly made by her representative:

There's also a few Reddit threads with some questioning whether she actually was arrested or if it's just a trick, citing things like criminal policies in the UK that don't add up with the situation such as the claims of her being let out on bail or still being allowed to post online (albeit SFW-only material):

Not going to go too deep into this rabbit hole to try and confirm anything and I know jack squat about British law anyway, but even if she wasn't actually arrested, it doesn't change the fact that laws with a wide reach like this are extremely dangerous.
