      > The UK has been warned it could face US sanctions if Sir Keir Starmer attempts to block Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, amid mounting concern over its AI tool generating sexualised images of women and children.

      > Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican Congresswoman and ally of Donald Trump, said she was drafting legislation that would allow the US to sanction the UK if the UK bans or restricts X under the Online Safety Act.

      > Luna, who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said any move against the platform would amount to “a political war against Elon Musk and free speech”.

      Wow, so we’re not just protecting pedophiles like Epstein now.

      We’re going to sanction countries who don’t let people use AI for child porn.

      Great. Fucking great.

      Repeating once again that the marriage between cooperate and state interests is [fascism](https://voxpopulisphere.com/2017/08/23/lawrence-britt-14-characteristics-of-fascism/).

      The US is a fascist state, and the US people do not benefit from the US using sanctions to defend the literal nazi & literal [child porn generating AI bot](https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/grok-says-safeguard-lapses-led-images-minors-minimal-clothing-x-2026-01-02/) platform. We’re talking about other countries exercising their sovereignty to enact their own policing efforts domestically protect their citizens from nazis and child molesters.

      I cannot stress this enough: the US government is threatening other countries over the child molesting robot it’s exporting while telling you to stop asking about the Epstein Files. Even if you think other nations‘ leaders are the most evil people in the world that is still literally, and unironically, the plot of a [2017 SNL sketch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NgUhEs1R4) where the self-professed most evil people in the world were still repulsed by the idea of a child molesting robot.

      The very predictable results is counter sanctions on the US people, and further eroding of long-standing treaties and alliances that the US has benefited from for over a hundred years.

      Man, we’re not going to have any allies left after Orange clown wrecking ball is finished.

      *“The UK has been warned it could face US sanctions if Sir Keir Starmer attempts to block Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, amid mounting concern over its AI tool generating sexualised images of women and children“*

      Pedophile of the United States does not like UK trying to attack its free ~~childporn~~ speech

      „We’re going to sanction your entire country if you block a website.“

      Yeah that seems… rational and proportionate.

    12. nerdyPagaman on

      All democracies are going to be sanctioned anyway.
      May as well have a backbone and stand up for something.

      Also the western democracies aren’t US allies, we’re the customers.
      Time to stop buying American.

    14. Quiet_Down_Please on

      The rest of the world needs to start sanctioning the U.S. at this point.

    15. sonofabutch on

      Hey, remember when Musk and Trump had that big falling out and Musk was going to start a third party?

    17. Anon-fickleflake on

      Lol I guess that really confirms the very public and loud drumph and musk breakup was staged

    18. healeyd on

      The fact that blocking a social media site can be met with government sanctions on behalf of billionaire political ally tells you all you need to know about its real purpose.

    20. TheMoorNextDoor on

      Sanctions for a website? Lmao

      This government is so unserious.

      These are not serious people.

      The EU needs to block it anyway.

      “In October 2025, the top exports of United Kingdom to United States were Gas Turbines (£483M), Cars (£349M), and Vaccines, blood, antisera, toxins and cultures (£273M). In the same month, the main imports of United Kingdom from United States were Gold (£2.4B), Silver (£1.65B), and Gas Turbines (£579M).”

      Seems US healthcare takes a hit if they want to dance.

    23. Late-Arrival-8669 on

      Sanctions vs being another right wing fascist state like the US?!

      I beg you all to pass and block X

    24. thecurlyburl on

      Ah yes you better let our private company propaganda and hate machine continue uninterrupted in your country otherwise we’ll use our country to punish you.

      Bunch of socialist Marxist assholes. Fuck trump and anybody who supports him.

    25. Cybrslsh on

      Stop making AI child porn then. Arrest those who do make AI child porn. Arrest those who don’t fix the AI that allows this.

    26. nwindy317 on

      Just do it. We need to be closer to the EU than America. Anyone who looks at America and thinks I’m going to vote reform because I want the UK to be like America need to give their head a wobble.

    27. lolalala1 on

      Has the US ever threatened sanctions on a country to benefit an individual company? 

    29. Bisjoux on

      Surely the Online Safety Act applies which means action can and should be taken?

    30. Turbulent-Grade-3559 on

      Starmer needs to nut up and tell trump and his crony to go ahead, we are better off without them. This is real sovereignty!

    31. postsshortcomments on

      Much like that one establishment on that street corner, a lot of Americans dont even want this very disruptive product in their own communities. I can’t blame them and props to the UK!

    32. Tvarata on

      If you cave to this threat, next time you will because you have school lunches or pay too little for medicine, you don’t buy a Tesla. Seriously, how big is the chance that Starmer will refuse to stop the X? Doesn’t M6 have a department that can start disrupting the platform’s operation?

    35. CMDRZapedzki on

      Wild that conservatives are okay with protecting the rights of pedos to create pedophile porn. Time to start proscribing conservatism as a criminal condition. We always *knew*, but now we *know* know.

    38. siknote78 on

      About time we sanctioned all Trump related businesses in the UK. But seeing as the government here are right leaning cowards it won’t even be a thought to them

    39. zedkyuu on

      Well, if you needed any more proof that Musk is back in cahoots with the US government…

    41. heeden on

      Of course America’s paedo party would threaten people for blocking their child porn app.
