“So if Mr. Musk allows views on Twitter that don’t conform to the governments version of “truth” on any issue he could be fined and jailed. Welcome to 1984.” Admin
The UK government on Tuesday threatened to block Twitter and jail its new owner Elon Musk if he allows free speech on his platform.
The threat came just hours after the EU threatened to ban Twitter entirely if Musk refuses to censor content on the platform and the US threatened to “reform” Section 230 to hold social media companies “accountable” for the “harms they cause.”
Britain’s Online Safety Bill would make it mandatory for social media services to tackle both illegal posts as well as material that is “legal but harmful,” a vague definition that has attracted criticism from some in the tech industry over concerns that it may stifle free speech.
