Khan accuses social media sites of spreading lies about London
The Telegraph ^ | April 9, 2026 | Eir Nolsoe

Posted on 04/10/2026 11:48:57 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Sir Sadiq Khan has accused social media giants of tarnishing London’s reputation by allowing a “dark blizzard of disinformation” to spread on their platforms.

The Mayor of London has claimed that sites such as X, Facebook and Instagram are fuelling lies about the capital online, specifically when it comes to crime and racial segregation.

Such disinformation is damaging the capital’s standing as “one of the most successful multicultural societies on Earth”, he told the Cambridge Disinformation Summit on Thursday.

“Disinformation has become an industry: an ‘outrage economy’ organised around a ‘division dividend’ which allows people to profit from poison,” he said. “And today, the captains of the ‘outrage economy’ have London in their sights.”

His comments coincided with the release of a report by the Greater London Authority (GLA) which revealed a surge in social media posts containing falsehoods about London.

It found that “London in decline” content rose by up to 200pc in the past two years on social media, while posts about the capital in general grew by 7pc.

This was based on data from social media platforms such as X, Facebook and Instagram, as well as less popular apps such as Telegram and Russian social network VK.

I’m not impressed with his boast of multiculturalism. That in and of itself requires no effort. This laziness inspires chaos, lacks meaningful objectives and purpose. Big deal, you have migrants from everywhere - so what? Explain how this has improved the quality of life there.

I would be impressed if Khan said that London was a cohesive society, aligned on traditional Judeo-Christian values and ethics - in spite of varied backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures. But he cannot do so, he is overseeing the destruction commonly experienced when Muslims inflict their will on a weak and/or apathetic society.

And what of Chuck? The inbred, Muslim-curious, pseudo heterosexual, retard pretending to serve as some sort of ‘king’? That’s right, he’s playing dress up with the girls in his muzzie attire. He’s Nero watching the flames and hoping tea time will not be delayed. Maybe he should go see the Wizard of Oz for a pair of balls, a brain, and courage?

Not a fan of any monarchy- but when you fail to lead and direct, you go from useless to criminally negligent. Sickening to see what has become of the U.K. and parts of Europe.

““one of the most successful multicultural societies on Earth”, he told the Cambridge Disinformation Summit on Thursday”

says the leader of a country that once had the most powerful blue-water navy in the world, and now can barely get a single Destroyer out of the docks, AND also just shafted their once “special” ally by refusing the use of bases OWNED by said ally in their time of need ... Starmer can go F himself ...
