Bunch of hypocrites. Yeah, we know it’s putting free speech at risk, but they could have picked a better source to talk to.

So does Musk owning Twitter, would be nice if they both lose somehow

I mean speech on X is censored heavily to Elon Musks liking. The term Cis will immediately get you get you banned. Far right fascists are massively promoted. Yes this new law is for censorship but given how much power the right wing have it’s almost certainly just gonna be used to crush LGBT communities and opposition to the Murdoch press. Which is something X already does, so I don’t understand why they would be complaining.

This is what this trojan horse is designed for. It’s the same old chesnut, give up your freedom in exchange for security.

There are alcoholics who cannot access anonymous support on twitter or reddit because its flagged as “NSFW”.
There are news sites who won’t show videos of what’s happening in Gaza because its flagged as “NSFW”.
This new law is being used as a means to censor whatever the government doesn’t like.
And if anyone dares to call it out, they’re smeared either as supporters of terrorism, porn addicts, or in the mad case of Peter Kyle vs Nigel Farage, defenders of Jimmy Savile.
Gutter politics being peddled to defend an awful form of legislation that will do more harm than good in the long term.

Twitter, the company that banned anti-government speech in Türkiye and suppressed pro-Kamala Harris material, not to mention the word “cisgender”, doesn’t get a say on free speech.

Shut up plebs, honestly? No Internet. Only far-right thugs, porn addicts and dangerous criminals use the Internet.
It’s a danger to children. Effective immediately, you can only use the Internet at special Internet Use Centres – furthermore, you must pay a fixed Internet License to the BSC (British Streaming Company).
No, it doesn’t matter if you actually use the Internet you will pay the license regardless.

Does anyone really give a toss what Musk thinks or says?

Between Elon, Trump and Farage it’s really been “Worst person you know just made a good point” week.

There’s two subsections in the OSA which says that any depiction of violence against people and animals is subject to the OSA however a couple lines below it two more subsections are added which says the definition of “People” and “Animals” in the previous subsections does not have to be real and could be fictional
Basically a Cartoon, Movie, Video Game, Anime and Manga ban

They’re not wrong here and it’s had effects that aren’t just limited to the UK, it’s effected video games, the Australians, Canadians and Americans are getting involved with similar authoritarian legislation, YouTube and Spotify have fucking age verification and it’s all thanks to a combination of the Tories and Labour.
***However*** Musk is the last person that needs to weigh in on this considering he’s been censoring any information that he doesn’t like, so it’s a bit hard to take that criticism from him. It’s like Hannibal Lector complaining that your chicken is undercooked.

Hey guys just a heads up that Elon is mad that he needs to come up with passports for all his bots now, who also apparently have free speech rights.

Where are the protests? The outrage in public spaces? This is censorship by our government, and we’re letting it happen.
