have you seen enough of this crap yet to realize the powers that shouldn't be are attacking us in ways you couldn't have imagined;
Elon Musk’s X platform has said the UK’s Online Safety Act (OSA) is at risk of “seriously infringing” free speech as a row deepens over measures for protecting children from harmful content.
The social media company said the act’s “laudable” intentions were being overshadowed by its aggressive implementation by the communications watchdog, Ofcom.
In a statement posted on the platform, X said: “Many are now concerned that a plan ostensibly intended to keep children safe is at risk of seriously infringing on the public’s right to free expression.”
The UK government hit back, saying it was “demonstrably false” to claim the act compromised free speech, and pointing to its provisions on protecting freedom of expression.
X added in its statement that the freedom of speech risk would not be a surprise to the UK government because by passing the OSA, lawmakers had made a “conscientious decision” to increase censorship in the name of “online safety”.
“It is fair to ask if UK citizens were equally aware of the trade-off being made,” said X.............more.............
