UK Prime Minister Starmer seeks support for international X ban

Pino Carafa

@eunews seriously wtf.... countries should just ban that site, period. Why look for "support"? Any country that has any decency should just unilaterally ban it. The momentum will build. Others will follow. Those who don't? Sod 'em.

@eunews Weak leaders need others to hold their hand and offer support. Labour need help to block twitter but can implement the privacy disasterous OSA against everyone's wishes. #FuckKierStarmer

@rozeboosje @eunews Yeah, he is scared of making Orange toddler bully angry through space Karen Musk. Coward through and through.

@eunews If you want to ban X, just do it. Don't seek support. Do it.

JaimeTaiChi

@eunews Ban Twitter/X, please. and soon.

He'll stop talking when Grok provides a pic of him naked with a young boy and it is widely distributed

@mihamarkic @rozeboosje @eunews I believe the US has already threatened sanctions against the UK if we ban X/twitter. So while it be great to see Starmer take a principled stand, it’s understandable that he’s seeking a coalition of sorts to stand with us.

Pino Carafa

@WiteWulf @mihamarkic @eunews and that is another reason why we should target the people who put "follow us on X" links on their web pages and ask them to close their X accounts and remove those links. They can threaten "sanctions" against the UK and other state actors and scream blue murder about "freedom of speech" over bans, but they won't have a leg to stand on when accounts use that freedom to voluntarily close their accounts and disassociate themselves from the platform.

@eunews go on I double dare you, cause this should have happened years ago, even before Space Karen went full on Nazi salute.

shut it down completely

@eunews

He should claim that X supports a Free Palestine. The entire liberal democracy project would issue a ban within an hour.

#FreePalestine #gaza #colonialism

Em :official_verified:

@eunews @bendrath Yes please

@rozeboosje @eunews two SE Asian countries (Indonesia and Malaysia) have already done so (or at least banned Grok)

Pino Carafa

@vfrmedia @eunews Yeah I knew about Indonesia. It's embarrassing when a country with a human rights record like Indonesia's does better than us here in "the West"

@Em0nM4stodon @eunews @bendrath yes please

@eunews
Ban it? Wouldn't a first step to actually be to stop using it? Have Labour or any other party closed their accounts or even stopped posting?
Sounds like the usual empty words to me. I doubt he would risk Trump's ire by having any principles.

@eunews

And I thought starmer and decency were mutually exclusive
