𝕏 (Twitter) Facing Potential Ban in the UK

This won't happen.

However, I do think it's time the Labour government nut up and just tell all Labour MPs to quit twitter, and tell all local authorities, civil servants et to quit twitter on their official accounts. Either help support another service, or relocate to somewhere else. At some point you have to just write a platform off. You can't win via lawfare here - you play right into Elon Musks hands and victim complex, and going too hard risks the UK being geoblocked.

But trying to spearhead an exodus would piss Elon Musk off.

Skavau impulsively sides with the censorious authoritarian regime 👆🏻 Pure evil.

The UK's Online Safety Act (which regulates social media) doesn't come into effect until next year. When it does, the ultimate penalty will be an outright ban on a non-compliant app. However, a fine of 10% of the app's global revenue is also an option. It would take a great deal of non-compliance for the UK to ban Twitter. So, while it's theoretically possible, it's vanishingly unlikely to happen.

The EU has a similar law -- the Digital Services Act -- that has already come into effect. The EU can ban a social media app or fine it 6% of its global revenue. And they're already deep into an investigation of Twitter / X, with Musk rather foolishly attempting to take them on (at least publicly).

It's that market Musk should fear because that legislation exists in part as an attempt to stem the tide of a perceived American cultural invasion... something continental Europeans are more concerned about, unfortunately, than the British. We should be much more concerned about that ourselves.

So the EU would be prepared to move more swiftly towards a ban than the UK would be. Even there, however, it would take a lot. They'd really much prefer the app to begin complying with European law and cultural standards within its territories. Twitter can do what it likes in its own backyard. We're not the same over here.

It should be banned everywhere. Twitter was never perfect. But at least they tried to ban terrorists, liars etc. There was some moderation.

When Musk bought it - he released all terrorists propagandists, all liars and spreads lies without banning those to constantly do that. Because he likes what they lie about. He agrees with their position on politics and so he allows them to lie and boost them retweeting himself many of their lies.

Countries should ban twitter or allow it to be sued. For lying about people. Let him pay millions to victims every day. He will close it himself.

The two Political Parties in Britain have become so boring and equal in their stupid policies that the people have already started to realize that it is one and the same party run by the same centre.

And all this in the face of the great financial decline of the population and a drastic increase in social problems. Both Labor and Conservative parties pursue the same policies without any difference.

The war in Ukraine which they support with billions of borrowed money, the military aid to Zionism which controls Britain from the center of Tel Aviv, the importation of illegal unverified immigrants, which miraculously most happened during the time of the Conservatives, who according to all anonymous idiot's rules and regulations, as a right wing party they should be against immigration.

All these are the policies that both parties implemented and supported.

The people started to become aware of this, so there was a need for a new drama in the country.

So they activate the Mossad idiot Tommy Robinson, who managed from a tragic attack on children by a psychopath from a Christian family, born in Britain, to cause racist, anti-Muslim, pro-Zionist, pro-Muslim protests and protestors who began to fight each other, while he was sunbathing on the beach in Cyprus in a 5-star hotel.

They also activated Elon Musk and his favourite drama illusion contained by left and right ideological nonsense, which has no difference between them.

And now the focus is completely off the real problem, and people are fighting, arguing and getting arrested over left-right ideologies and similar crap like in the good old days.

Good. Twitter is the biggest threat to a civilized society.
