   maybe more countries should just try banning X. y'know just try it, wear it out of the store, see if you like it, maybe others will do it too.

     all these articles laying out various ways that the UK could try to get Musk to just stop taking tons of ketamine and spreading far right conspiracies and.. hes not going to do that. Just enforce the Online Safety Act in regards to failure to moderate far right terrorism and incitement you silly cunts.

     @gruff except that establishment would have to include the newsmedia and that would require news corporations to not have fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

     We arrested other people for saying things that Musk has said, we ban other websites for inciting far right hatred. X is not Twitter and wont ever be again. Its over as a platform of free speech. The sooner we cut its head off, the sooner we can face the consequences and start to treat the malingering wound its impacting on our society.

     @siege I don't think banning X is the answer. Getting the establishment (public sector bodies etc.) to stop publishing public information via proprietary platforms would go a very long way to sorting the problem out imho.

     @gruff the rot isnt the public sector, its the private. And its myopic to think the current british establishment is just public.

     @siege Well, the public sector are requiring citizens to register in order to receive updates. If that no longer happened X's subscriber base would be greatly reduced, thereby reducing advertising revenue it receives. Besides, I'm not sure any country has a law that could simply cut the head off a lawful commercial company.
