We all know and experienced since the Twitter takeovere that it's owner, Elon Musk is and continous to be vocal about certain aspects of his takeover and how his "X" is well to be considered apart from the old Twitter. There has been news of Twitter / X being banned in the U.K. because of Musk's recent tirand on the U.K. governement. Read on below for aditional info. 

Could Twitter be banned in the UK?

Elon Musk has been criticised for his handling of disinformation on Twitter / X as he clashes with Keir Starmer over far-right riots which have gripped parts of the UK.

The US businessman, who bought the social media platform in 2022, launched a tirade of posts in which he mocked and criticised the UK prime minister. Following a statement from the Labour leader criticising the attacks on Muslim communities, Musk questioned why “all communities” should not be protected.

He later reposted this comment, alongside several memes which depict the UK’s criminal justice system as racially biased, as well as calling the Labour leader “#twotierkeir.” This echoes a far-right talking point which alleges that policing in the UK is more severe towards right-wing people.

X Faces Potential UK Sanctions Over Musk’s Protest Comments

On the day same day as X has launched legal action against the World Federation of Advertisers for advising industry members not to advertise on X, due to brand safety concerns, Musk is also facing sanctions in the U.K. over his incendiary posts about ongoing tensions in the country.

Over the past week, a series of riots have ensued in the U.K., sparked by far-right groups who are protesting the country’s current stance on immigration. More than 400 people have been arrested and hundreds of charges have been laid thus far.

This post has been widely criticized in the U.K., while Musk has continued to criticize the British government, both for its policies and its policing of the unrest.
