From Center for Countering Digital Hate:
〝[...] Elon Musk’s X. Corp threatening CCDH with legal action over our work, exposing the proliferation of hate and lies on Twitter since he became the owner.

Unacceptable. Not a nanometre must be ceded to those want government protection of sacred cows, and Starmer must take the initiative to make this clear ASAP, since he didn't do so at the time. If he doesn't, some other Labor MP must challenge him to do so, before a Tory MP does.
