  1. Sometimes you think the U.K. is a shithole and then they US is there to remind you there’s worse

    Trump hasn’t even been in office for 1 year and look at what he has done so far. Buckle up folks there is only 3 more years to go.

    Ban them. They’re already threatening war with everyone including themselves.

    Alot of talk here about a group of people not compatible with western society. The Trump administration ans entire maga movement are that. That goes for the cosplayers on this island too.

    The 1940s treatment for these types is needed in terms of a united front. That’s not a fight against the US but all western nations including the USA democrat or at least normal conservative states as well. They aren’t fit for society and need removed from all positions of decisuon making forever.

  4. Grow a pair and ban it, would also reduce Elons rants into our politics.
    We should, like Canada, buy European, Australian/NZ etc. But we are crap in this country for boycotting.

  5. If we ban it, others may. This is why they’re threatening sanctions.
    Honestly, less American stuff would be great for us and europe

  6. Call me a conspiracy theorist but this seems like Musk is using the claim of ‘censorship and free speech’ to normalise CSAM and noncing to get ahead of the curve on the Epstein files and reduce the public outcry for him and his mates.

    This sounds like the perfect time to ban it. Let the united states of pedophilia cry about it.

  8. Imagine trying to set up a company to sell alcoholic drinks to 18 year olds, then taking it over to the US and kicking up a fuss and sanctioning the US just because it would be illegal there.

    Different countries have different laws and customs. Why is it so hard for these bastards to understand that? 

  9. You know what, most of the time it’s better to just take the pain and be on the right side of history because when the U.S. falls, which it will, all empires do, you don’t want to get dragged down with it.

    We need to start a grassroots campaign, asking businesses to stop using the platform, whether they advertise or just have an account there.

    Every time you see it – contact their customer service and ask them politely to stop using a platform which actively enables the creation and distribution of child porn. 

    It won’t take many complains before businesses decide it’s not worth the hassle/bad publicity. 

    I work in the social media industry, and the honest truth is there’s almost zero business benefit to being on Twitter – it costs money to be there, but returns very little. A lot of businesses will happily just let it go. 

  11. Imagine completely overlooking the fact that a social platform is offering a pay-to-nonce scheme where you can generate sexually explicit pictures of kids no questions asked, and yet your ire is aimed at a leader who (mildly, let’s be honest) criticises it.

    Do it. Sanction the UK. The trade between the US and the UK means it will affect the US more.

    Freedom of speech is forcing another country to keep your propoganda website open to view, honestly ban x, move away from america they arent worth the headache anymore

  14. FrustratedPCBuild on

    Imagine voting for a man who will go to bat for a billionaire over his private company while making your health insurance more expensive. Trump voters are the biggest suckers in the world.

    This diplomacy the government is playing with America won’t help; appeasement doesn’t work with people like trump. It only emboldens him to push even further.

    No matter how much we bend the knee it will never be enough. Take a stand or wait until it’s too late

  16. It’s impossible to tip toe about without upsetting a tyrant, sooner or later you have to stand up to it.

    Just casually point out that it’s a bad look to be best friends with a paedo for so many years and also support an AI that can undress children.

  17. Protecting an app that can produce child porn is a baffling choice.

    But this is the same government that is hiding the Epstein files so hardly surprising….

    You know what? Let them, might give us a reason to fucking rejoin the EU which everyone seems reticent to do despite everyone but the most professional of tongue based window cleaners believing it’s a good idea.

    I’ve never been more supportive of Kier Starmer doing something, as when those fucking idiots over the Atlantic say he shouldn’t do it

  20. JaguarWitty9693 on

    Seriously – at what point do we just tell them all to fuck off and that we’ll check back in again in about 3 years?

  21. So the egomaniac “I had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein” billionaire President of another country, is going to punish us if we block access to CP generating cesspool website run by a different psycopath billionaire, who spent a few months twisting US politics and is now consistently trying to influence our politics, and despite chumming up to him for months said the president has a LOT to do with Jeffrey Epstein.

    And some people think that our country needs MORE of what they’re pushing? Cool. What a time to be alive.

  22. “Tech firms should have the freedom to provide the ability for users to create sexualised deepfakes of people, including children” is a weird hill to die on.

    As is, “It’s ok, they’ve said they’ll restrict it to paying customers!”

  23. Scary to say this but if Starmer stands up to the US, he can have my vote at the next election.

    If anything, this cluster fuck has really shown who’s pro child abuse image. Sadly, there’s far too many people who are.

  25. I dont care, let them sanction us.

    Starmer needs to ban X and make a statement about the U.S Government putting sanctions on an entire nation because a business has asked them to, he needs to make clear what that signifies, theyre not interested in free speech, theyre interested in corporate greed and misinformation. EU should follow suit.

    Ban X . . . it will benefit all of us.
