UK Social Media Regulation Sparks National Debate on Free Speech
This video from the Good Morning Britain TV show has been causing commotion on the internet, where a group of individuals gather themselves in the discussion of banning social media, mostly X (formerly known as Twitter) from the UK.
However, Many X users do not find it funny as the majority believe it’s a way of blocking citizens’ ears from the truth directly on social media.
One of the speakers, Ana Vilhete made a comment “it’s only a temporary measure to limit the spread of Inflammatory information, misinformation across the UK at this point. I think we should focus on keeping people safe and the community safe as well…”
Many people are reacting differently to this new update. Here are a few of people’s reactions to this morning’s discussion;
Concerned citizens reacted “UK Powers have lost complete control of the narrative – people are seeing the truth,
their Lies & Propaganda exposed. Welcome to the UK in 2024 where Fascism is very much on the rise.”
War on Wokery reacted “Wow. You know we’ve reached peak gas-lighting when one side has been calling for increased government control, lockdowns and censorship for years, now bans on social media; and yet they call our side fascists. You couldn’t make it up.”
Terry K commented “Ban Social media? So we have to rely upon @BBCNews that hires and protects paedophiles and spins grotesque lies continually.
Or @SkyNews that runs Hamas propaganda, that reports live from Birmingham about “far right” whilst psychotic Islamists brandish swords on the street. No, we absolutely need social media!”
Zaki Soulja rested “The day social media is banned is the day the British people will lose their freedom”
Dave Salvage reacted “They want to shut it down because they’ve lost control of the approved narrative. Their lies are being checked in real time and they don’t want the general public to see their lies. Now they want to go full Nazi by silencing all that can counter & challenge their narratives”
Christian Wilson reacted “Freedom of speech is only a threat to those who wish to control a false narrative. Yes the truth is inconvenient, yes the truth can scare people, yes the truth doesn’t help keep people under control. TRUTH is the weapon of the people for the people.”
David Steele reacted “Control the narrative, control the people. Of course they want to ban social media, X in particular. Why do you think a lot of people rely on X for their information – because they no longer trust the MSM.”
Additionally, Ban on social media is like telling people not to voice out when they see a wrong act being carried out. Government should and already knows that they can not control the narrative on all social media platforms, especially X. People on social media are actually capturing true footage, not the mainstream media bias & propaganda! Banning social media especially in the UK is a big deal to its citizens.
