The Spin
With Bluesky on the march, and X's increasingly hate-fulledfilled content only encouraged by Trump's election victory, we're likely at the beginning of a dramatic shift in the social media landscape. Developed by former Twitter co-founder Jack Dempsey, Bluesky is a nostalgic return to the days when online discourse and differences of opinion were not dominated by algorithm-enhanced disinformation, which helped catalyze the violence witnessed this summer.
The UK government cares more about suppressing free speech than it does tackling real crime and protecting the public. Starmer's war against Musk is nothing more than an ideological fantasy undermining the very principles of liberty that Britain has championed throughout history. Woke culture and the socialist crusade against X and individual freedoms will, despite the best efforts of the establishment, fail in the UK just like it did at the ballot box in the US.
