      Reposting this after my error of judgement by using unreliable site earlier. Another source: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/uk-officials-could-be-barred-from-america-over-x-ban-402191/

      > UK officials could be barred from the US if a plan to ban Elon Musk’s social media platform X goes ahead in the UK.

      > However, US officials have now said that they will ban UK officials from the US if the UK does indeed block X, as per The Telegraph, claiming they have the “right to up the ante”.

      > The paper reported that a state department source said that “UK officials could face being barred from the US over plans to ban X”, while Ofcom staff could also suffer the same fate.

      So the US government is going to ban UK officials for….enforcing CSA rules. If you are american, surely you have to ask if you are the bad guys at this point…

      Luckily Starmer is too weak and will claim it’s someone else’s job or he has reassurances etc.

      Imagine causing a massive diplomatic spat over defending a fucking website that facilitates AI child porn and deepfakes.

      When a UK government pushes back on the United States the world will know Trump has lost all his allies.

      Barred from the US for opposing Grok AI producing indecent images of children.

      And apparently Trump is „draining the swamp“?

      An ISP-level health warning would be doing the bare minimum for UK users: beware the child-endangering ecosystem, the great heaving swarms of bots spewing weaponised nonsense (it bears repeating that a Russian-origin bot’s lies spread through that platform were linked as a factor of causality re riots a number of years ago), and the political gutter-dwellers who monetise racial baiting like it’s a side hustle.

      What parades as a “platform” now looks more like a toxic misinformation engine, utterly indifferent to user safety or the collateral damage it leaves strewn across the offline world. It clutches the magic charm of “free speech” while howling about censorship, even as its fingerprints turn up on civil unrest and assorted criminal behaviour. The whole routine reeks of panic, a flailing, faithless grab at moral cover.

      And presiding over it all is.. well, a chaos-addled grotesque, drunk on disorder, revelling in the wreckage.

      And nothing of value would be lost.

      It’s about time we acknowledge the UK hasn’t had a „special relationship“ with the US for a long time. At this point the only thing we have in common are we both speak the same language and we both have people of power who were named in the Epstein files.

      Burn it all down.

      The government needs to come off Twitter, and actually lead by example. I thought a Nazi salute would do the trick. I thought AI child porn might be the line in the sand. If not now then when?

    10. Anubis1958 on

      Go one, then US. Set the precedent.

      Then the UK can ban Trump from coming to his UK golf courses. I would pay good money for a recording of:

      This is Air Force One, requesting landing permission at your airport.
      Sorry Air Force One, permission denied, you have an unacceptable person on board.

      Nobody wants to go to occupied american territories anyway, fucking fascist losers.

      Landback.

      Doesn’t this kind of show how important trump thinks X is in poisoning the minds of people ?

      Why else get upset over it unless it’s because him and his mates can no longer control the narrative in the uk

    14. coffeewalnut08 on

      Am I supposed to be upset? I’m not upset.

      Have at it, ban who you like. Better than being blackmailed over a toxic platform that serves up a diet of racism on people’s feeds daily

    15. SEAN0_91 on

      They need X not to be banned so it can spout reforms (Russia’s) narrative to get them elected

    16. TheChattyRat on

      Banned from US for legislating a social media company stops selling software to undress children?

    17. gpowerf on

      This is a non-punishment. It isn’t aa though the world is lining up to go to the U.S.! In fact, people are cancelling their World Cup tickets and tourism is overall in steep decline.

    18. daniel202472 on

      Then we should bar US officials from entering the UK and that includes Dozy Don visiting his golf courses.

    19. Alarming_Oil5419 on

      Wouldn’t it be *funny* if Trump sanctioned Starmer, and the banks froze Starmer’s assets and cards. You know, like he done to the ICC.

    22. EmBur__ on

      Oh no, whatever will we do now that the pdfile and chief is cross with us!?…

    23. throwwayacc00 on

      Getting barred from a police state because CSAM is banned. Sounds fair. Do it!

    24. Lump001 on

      They’re mortally offended that our government doesn’t like child abuse? That’s the hill they’re dying on?

      (Well no, the reality is they don’t want their psyop mass surveillance tool to be lost)

    25. mpanase on

      I wonder what yankees think about breaking diplomatic relations with UK, in order to defend a private company’s ability to monetise child porn and non-consensual porn
