Of course it's flippant. Let's go there anyway

• Trying to ban things on the Internet the regime doesn't like ✅

• Laws being created to make it a crime to criticise a certain religion ✅

• Religious extremists controlling police appointments in some cities (Birmingham) ✅

• Two tier justice system to protect preferred races (grooming gangs) and punish those who complain✅

• Rampant anti-semitism ✅

• Govt propaganda tools (above) to reference white extremism while ignoring religious extremism ✅

• Concerns from other similar religious theocracies about religious extremism here (UAE reducing uni funding in the UK due to threat of extremism) ✅

• Religious extremist political party ✅

Our trajectory is currently heading there.

I don't know about the rest of that sheet, but it sound like they're trying to ban a child porn website. Hopefully no one likes child porn websites.

Head over to the Epstein thread. Quite a few people defending it.

If they want to do that then Snapchat and Bluesky are where the nonces reside. The real issue is the PM has been community noted 20 times because he can't tell the truth and for someone that thin skinned and narcissistic, big problem. X as a platform isn't allowing for issues they wan to hide, to stay hidden. The media have let the grooming gang issue go, but X is keeping it alive.

The sad irony of the Grok obsession is there are existing laws to deal with the issue, and the law they are proposing will effectively ban Generative AI, If our Technology Secretary had a background in the Industry, they'd know this. Its ironic since the Govt very happily announced an AI strategy months ago to utilise the technology. Their lack of joined thinking is immense.

I am not defending it or other tools that do the same thing. Ofcom fined another social media platform £50k for similar things recently. The question is why rushd a badly written and ill thought through law into place that anyone with a brain can see it will cause multiple unintended downstream effects?

You need to look beyond the jangling keys. There are existing laws in place to prosecute platforms for issues (above), and this Govt is an absolute tell for hidden motives - they are regularly shamed on X both via community notes and the interactions with the public. The starkest comparison is the Grok thing has been sold as a child safety issues but at the same Govt refuses to hold a Grooming Gangs inquiry - the victims are largely children and the problem is still happening today. Ask yourself why they wish to hide actual violence against Children? Why indeed.

Further its just one example. The mandatory Digital ID thing (mandatory part canned yesterday, uturn 13 of their reign) was sold as a way to stop illegal immigration 🤣. Anyone with a brain knew it was a convenient excuse to enforce digital ID across every UK citizen via the back door. Why? Because a good portion of illegals work in the black market so no job checks will likely take place. Why enforce a societal wide change because of illegals, who have no ID when they arrive anyway? The fact the infrastructure has already started to be built when no decisions had apparently been made, suggests a lot right?

Jangling keys to distract fools.

comparing the UK to Iran is preposterous.

You're right, the UK's is far more authoritarian. But leftists here support it because they rightly see it as politically aligned with their own ideology.
