The UK authoritarians are using their online safety act to threaten Gab, a free speech platform. They are threatening to steal 10% of their revenue. A community note claimed they allowed child sexual abuse, terrorism, fraud, and incitement to violence. The note provided no evidence.
Torba said, “To be clear, this image obviously isn’t aimed at our patriotic British brothers and sisters, but rather at their tyrannical government. The UK’s “Online Safety Act” is a textbook example of the left’s manipulative use of language. Just look at how it’s framed—who could possibly oppose something called “online safety”? It’s sold to the public as a tool to combat obviously illegal content like child exploitation—things no one disagrees with. But buried in the fine print are vague “hate speech” clauses, which serve as the real tool for narrative control. That’s the true objective: to police thought and silence dissent under the guise of protecting people.”
BREAKING: The UK Government has demanded that Gab submit to their new censorship regime under the UK Online Safety Act, threatening massive fines (18 million euros or 10% of our annual revenue) for not policing speech.
We will not comply. We will not pay one cent. We will… pic.twitter.com/W35d4Irsq1

They will hunt you down for a non-approved word on the internet, but they let gangs of pakistani men rape tens of thousands of under age girls.
I’d say that’s a government/governments that are working against it’s peoples best interests at best.
At worst it’s a nation/nations that have already lost control and the people of those nations are certain to be screwed over.
Absolute control over the ‘plebeians’…
Can’t be repeated enough. It’s a shame we wasted our national treasures, TWICE, to save these people from the threat they now embrace. They’ve sealed their fate, they are not worth saving.They should be forced to visit every cemetery and apologize in front of every maker.
They’re repeating history almost line for line. They’ve fallen into the same derogatory behavioral patterns as their predecessor’s have.
No need to point out what the repercussions of using that behavior in that region will lead too.
It’s personal issue with themselves in reality. They cannot have free speech as they claim to support on the one hand and mandate mass censorship of speech on the other hand.
Beware! Fickle minded people attempting to call all the shots for everyone. The citizens over there had better think fast.
They have them here too…Forgot Biden etc., already…and Trudeau in Canada…
