As I'm from - and in - the UK, let's have a look at this shall we? Both the tweet and the one to which it's responding...

> There are always technical bugs during the early phases of new technology, especially AI, and those issues are typically addressed quickly.

But this is precisely the point - they haven't been addressed quickly, they've been excused and generally ignored/used to troll. I believe they've now been moved behind a paywall, which is certainly one way to communicate how you feel about CSAM material.

> Let’s be clear: this is not about technical compliance. This is a political war against @elonmusk and free speech—nothing more.

Hardly - X has acted without any real consequence here for ages, despite turning into an absolute cesspit. MPs, Ministers, government departments - many are still using it despite everything. That aside, that a different country has slightly different views on free speech than (part of) your own country is not, in any way, a crime. Most nations have some speech which is restricted, at least in some circumstances, the US is no exception to this.

Now, onto the "inspiration"...

> The UK jails people for calling rapists "pigs."

Does it? Show me. Show me the case where that has happened. Our legal rulings are public.

> ...various other unhinged lunacy until...

> Starmer is just punishing a platform that won't bend the knee.

Do these people have the concept of irony surgically extracted? Everything Trump does is generally about punishing people that won't bend the knee/pay him/hand over a chunk of their Kingdom. "Country actually enforces own law" shouldn't really be a headline, but I guess for these people it is now...
