Mimicking a policy that the west once condemned Communist China for pursuing, authoritarians are now calling for X to be shut down completely in the UK to stop civil unrest.
After the country was rocked by a series of riots over the past week in response to a 17-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants killing three little girls in Southport, the media and the political class blamed the anger on “misinformation” shared on X.
In reality, the UK has been a boiling pot of resentment and rage over mass migration for years, with huge numbers continuing to arrive, putting massive strain on the country and making some parts of major towns and cities unrecognizable, despite nobody having ever voted for it.
However, the disorder is being exploited to grease the skids for mass censorship.
Cambridge professor Sander van der Linden said the government could “geo-restrict access to a platform if the situation got so bad” and Twitter could also be “banned from the app store for violating policies.”
Jessica Simor QC also called for the UK government to “pass a short bill closing down Twitter in the UK.”
Entrepreneur Ana Vilhete also called for Twitter to be temporarily banned in the UK to “limit the spread of inflammatory information.”
Journalist Paul Mason, a Marxist who once worked for the BBC, demanded the government use the Online Safety Bill (which passed under the excuse of protecting children from harmful content) to “pull the plug” on X.
Apparently, it’s horrendous for Middle Eastern dictators to shut down and block social media networks during times of civil unrest, as occurred during the Arab Spring, but when the UK does it, it’s fine.
Whenever there are anti-government protests in China, the Communist regime there also blocks and suspends social media networks, something that was once slammed by western governments as a vicious attack on basic freedom, but a tactic which they now emulate.
Although the riots are cited as the primary reason for mass censorship, the calls are also being driven by the fact that Elon Musk has challenged the mainstream narrative on the riots and embarrassed Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Musk branded Starmer ‘Two Tier Kier’ for pursuing a vigorous crackdown on anti-mass migration demonstrators while turning a blind eye to Muslim mobs who have also rioted and physically attacked innocent people.
The British political establishment engaged in a collective hissy fit over Musk’s simple question for Starmer and the government when he asked, “Why aren’t all communities protected in Britain?”.
The X owner also drew attention to a viral video clip of a man being arrested in his own home by police over a Facebook post, asking if it was “Britain or the Soviet Union”.
The regime is deeply fearful that Musk’s intervention is causing them to lose control of the narrative that the unrest is being fueled by mindless, racist thuggery and not legitimate concerns about the impact of mass migration on working class people in the UK.

Clearly it hasn’t crossed your mind that X *is* very authoritarian.
This is why: The standard by which British law is judged is by a reasonable person. X is moderated almost entirely by algorithms, increasingly more over time, but the final straw was when Elon Musk took over the company and fired most of the moderator staff. By now, it’s technically impossible for X to comply with British law, since almost never an X employee gets to know whether a post is incitement to violence, blackmail, or any other crime.
In practice, this means that X is an authoritarian wet dream, controlled by a machine God.
Good! Maybe mass censorship will wake them up, but most likely they lay back down again and take it.
I’m glad the Brits are rioting; Lord knows it’s about time. The leadership & media are disgusting. They are enemies of their own people. Something has to be done about that because, as bad as migrants may be, they are there only because of the anti-citizen policies of the UK leaders and the protection of the media.
That is not crazy. sheep should not be allowed to read anything. it messes with their brain.. also should not be allowed to roam freely. 15min max.
” Are we the bad guys ? ” ?
Attempting to shut down social media will only serve to make distrust and dissatisfaction with the government even worse (if that’s even possible). Whilst good old fashioned word of mouth, albeit slower than social media, will thrive. The government will find it much harder to snoop on word of mouth.
We keep making the same mistakes over and over again hoping somehow professionals are making decisions aimed at safeguarding our wealth, rights, freedom and health. How long does this destructive grace period last? I’m ready to rock and roll.
