Do you honestly think that would stop him taking the UK gov to court. It would not. He would claim it is a personal attack on his companies rights to free speech.

Then the goal for any legislation is simple: don't make it personal to Twitter and instead reference "platforms that openly allow misinformation and hate on their servers that do business in the UK without appropriate and swift moderation". Something like that.

The goal won't be to fine Twitter or Musk directly. It will be to move the needle in a way that makes doing business with him or his companies not worth the hassle. Musk could win the court battle, but ultimately lose his hate machine. Absolutely fine ๐Ÿ˜‰.

But let's be honest.... None of this will happen ๐Ÿ˜‚.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
