Starmer wants to silence dissent and fleece US tech companies.
The United Kingdom, under unpopular Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, continues to descend into totalitarianism, with the censorship now going into overdrive with their new Online Safety Act.
But British press is reporting that the White House has warned Starmer to ‘stop threatening American tech companies’ as the pushback against Britain’s ‘online safety law’ is growing.
Trump’s team is monitoring the Online Safety Act with ‘great interest and concern’ as it has been branded censorship of free speech ‘imposing unfair burdens’ on US tech industry.
The Telegraph reported:
“The law, which regulates online speech, allows the British government to levy massive fines on companies like Apple, Truth Social, and X if it finds that rules on hate speech have been broken.”
“’President Trump has made it clear that free speech is one of our most cherished freedoms as Americans’, a senior US State Department official told The Telegraph.
‘Accordingly, we have taken decisive action against foreign actors who have engaged in extraterritorial censorship affecting our companies and fellow citizens. We will continue to monitor developments in the UK with great interest and concern’.”
This horrible state overreach is understood in the US as ‘a threat by the UK to silence American companies and citizens’.
“Under the law, social media giants face fines of up to £18m ($24m), or 10 per cent of their annual revenue, if they fail to remove content deemed harmful from their platforms.”
Needless to say, platforms will be pressured to censor content that is perfectly legal and constitutionally protected.
