  4. On his site you can’t even say cis. He doesn’t care about free speech

  6. You’ll be able drive and shag, but not be able to listen to explicit music on Spotify apparently. What an incredible country

  7. GOT ME WANKIN LOICENSE DIDNT I EH? ALSO GOT ME TOOFBRUSH LOICENSE WHILST I WAS AT IT. OI’M A PROPA GEEZER EH? HE HE.

  8. Regardless of what I think of Elon, the sentiment that the OSA is a threat against the freedom and privacy we all enjoy and are entitled to is accurate.

  9. He’s right. So is Trump when he says Europe is ruining itself for no good reason. At some point we’ll be liberated.

  10. It’s not about free speech – it’s about restricting access to online content and having to give away sensitive information and data to access it, not knowing who possess it and how it is being used. All of this happening under the guise of child safety whilst the government floods towns with illegal male immigrants. You will soon be able to vote in this country at 16 but not listen to rap music at 17. Make if make sense.

  11. The onlyline safe act has blocked a news story reporting the no one was born last year called kier

    Lol

  12. I don’t like Elon but I don’t like Starmer either. While Musk is too open in what he says, Starmer is now trying censor what we say.

  14. Heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a good point.

  16. Can’t believe I’m agreeing with Musk about something. Although he’s hardly a bastion of free speech himself banning people from X for saying the word cisgender and engaging in anti union efforts.

  18. Slowly becoming a censorship nations like China under the tories and labour.

  19. Elon is only annoyed cause it’ll affect him negatively. Although he’s not wrong.

  22. I don’t like Elon musk but this online safety act is authoritarian and takes away people’s privacy and rights

  23. Ofc they do.
    They can’t accept it’s a complete failure. Untrustworthy. Risks privacy and increases the control the government has over it’s people.
    United Kingdom of China.

  24. Labour’s overall policy is to absolutely defend every single decision it makes as the right one. There’s no nuance, no reflection, no possibility that they may have erred. Demand all the answers you want, but you will never get even one of these people to admit the slightest hint of misjudgment.

  25. Why don’t they just ban porn? If the whole thing is to keep kids safe from looking at boobs and todgers why do people need ID to listen to a Clif Richard album on Spotify?

    Could it possibly be that it’s not actually about keeping kids away from saucy photos?…

  26. It’s almost as if Twitter is blocking things deliberately to make the UK government look bad… nah, that can’t be it. Not with Elon ‘The Freedom Champion’ Musk at the helm

  27. No one, of reasonable mind, wants the Orwellian levels of over reach the OSA has achieved.

  28. Why? The Conservatives brought it in so it’d be a win to say “this law from the previous administration goes too far” and scrap it. An easy win and he’s bottling it.

  29. Why they are doubling down on this I do not know.

    It’s clearly been a disaster— they could have agreed to review it and blamed the tories

  30. lol, they are setting up an elite police force to monitor socials in case you say you don’t agree with migrant hotels or whatever else the deem is preempting civil unrest. Love this though: let 16 yo vote, fuck up the internet, hello Reform.

  31. I mean in the cases we are seeing its suppressing citizen journalism so yes it very much does impact free speech.

  32. Labour aren’t very good at politics are they.?😂😂😂

  33. They actually defended it? Jesus Christ. I guess we’re getting Farage as PM next election. FML.
