The Government has urged online watchdog Ofcom to use its powers to block access to X, formerly Twitter, in a dramatic escalation in tensions with the tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall issued a statement telling the regulator that it had the “full support” of ministers to use its powers to block UK users from gaining access to the social media site.

So they're banning X in the UK or looking to this weekend...

Pathetic..

Good time to invest in British VPNs.

Starmer vs Musk?
Not even close.
Musk wins with one hand ties behind his back

[RandFan]

ProtonMail has one as part of the deal if I recall

[FLT-bird]

OK. We’ll have to retaliate of course.

So the Iranian people are overthrowing the IRGC (utilizing Musk’s Starlink because the IRGC shut down their internet and phone lines), but the Government of a free nation is shutting down Musk’s internet free speech platform.

Freedom vs. tyranny in progress.

I heard that Starmer is conflicted. He doesn’t know whether to grow a Hitler mustache or a Stalin mustache.

“Eh, Mate, would you call the Government Property Agency and ask them when Starlink will be back on line?”

[Kudsman]

Can Musk just buy England already and deport Starmer?

[ComputerGuy]

Musk could just buy the UK and then fire Starmer.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

that’s not just pathetic, that would be revolutionary…and not in a good way.

Hell, ban all British imports to the US. Whatever will we do without blood sausage and Jaguars and Land Rovers that can't go thirty miles without breaking down?

Who will this hurt the most? The obnoxious Brit posters who constantly ridicule US Patriots. LOL!

I heard that Starmer is conflicted. He doesn’t know whether to grow a Hitler mustache or a Stalin mustache.

Well, that's because he doesn't have the testosterone or the cojones to grow a Maggie Thatcher one!

So we have a Muslim country trying to shut down the internet so it’s people cannot access it. Oh I also heard something is happening in Iran too.
