🇬🇧📱 The UK's Online Safety Act meant to hide pornography, suicide forums and other "harmful" content from children and teenagers broke X/Twitter.
Users in the EU report seeing various posts on X/Twitter hidden with the message: "Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age".
A law meant to apply only in the UK has effectively been extended to cover the European Union as well even though Brexit ended in 2020.
To add insult to injury, X/Twitter users who want to verify their age must first pay for Premium to unlock the ID verification tool, meaning that, not only do they need to give their names and addresses to big tech but also, their credit card information.
Just as the Online Safety Act was enforced, the European Union is pressing social media companies to enforce similar policies through the Digital Services Act, as soon as possible, meaning 2026-2027 at the latest.
In May 2025 the U.S. Congress reintroduced The Kids Online Safety Act with bipartisan support and from big tech. This is especially ironic coming from the same Congress which voted against the release of the Epstein files where teenage girls were prostituted to wealthy men as blackmail material.
Since this introduction of the Only Safety Act, VPNs have gotten extremely popular in the UK.
Outside of X/Twitter, British users report that sexual assault/suicide support forums on Reddit and other sites have been blocked in the UK as they are considered +18
Online censorship has never been about protecting people from harmful content, it always was about power and control of what people read.
If governments, British, EU or American, actually cared about the safety of younger generations they would simply ban the creation and distribution of pornography and digital prostitution websites like OnlyFans.

🇬🇧 The Prevent video game that treats every teenager like a far-Right extremist
Youngsters threatened with referral to anti-terror programme if they question migration while playing
A state-funded computer game is warning teenagers that they risk being referred to a counter-terrorism programme if they question mass migration.
Pathways is an interactive game designed for 11- to 18-year-old pupils and funded by Prevent, a Home Office programme for tackling extremism.
Young players are directed to help their in-game characters – a white teenage boy and girl – to avoid being reported for “extreme Right-wing ideology” after discussing migration online.
Characters can face extremism referrals if they choose to engage with groups that spread “harmful ideological messages”, or join protests against the “erosion of British values”. Even researching online immigration statistics is portrayed negatively.
Other in-game pitfalls include sharing a video that claims Muslim men,...
IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE: A BURIED CIA VIDEO JUST SURFACED… AND ERIKA KIRK IS IN IT
https://x.com/hustlebitch_/status/2009688114923745442?s=46
A 10-year-old documentary about EMP attacks and U.S. power grid vulnerability has quietly surfaced - and buried inside it is Erika Kirk.
She’s not observing.
She’s not a host.
She’s in a role most civilians never get near, briefing national security professionals alongside a former CIA National Security & Energy Specialist on how an EMP or coordinated physical attack could collapse the U.S. power grid.
This isn’t casual footage.
It’s technical.
It’s inside-baseball.
And it’s the exact kind of material most people never get near, let alone present.
Which raises some very uncomfortable questions:
Why was she in that role?
What qualified her to brief on national security threats?
Who brought her into that room, and why is none of it explained?
Back then, this clip passed quietly. Today, with everything surrounding her, it ...
