Freedom of speech campaigners in the UK are celebrating after a High Court ruling regarding Twitter. The court quashed the conviction of a British man, Paul Chambers, who tweeted that he would blow an airport sky high if his flight was delayed. Now, Britons will no longer be subject to criminal prosecution for making potentially offensive but unthreatening remarks online. Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports from London.
