Clickbait. After the headline there is nothing in the linked article about Elon Musk being threatened with jail.

The stakes for platforms like Twitter would be even higher under the Online Safety Bill, which threatens jail time for company executives for serious violations, as well as penalties of up to 10% of annual global sales.

How is this pathetic little island going to enforce its judgments, assuming that by that time it hasn't been annihilated by a nuclear war with Russia that it started?

Reciprocity laws between UK and USA, and target any assets stored in the UK, or any countries that share reciprocity.

So the UK can just arbitrarily impose any random penalty, even in this case where it violates US law as in this case, and the US will enforce it?

How marvelous.

London is pretty much the main hub of global finance. All sorts of shady business that you can't even get away with in New York is routed through London. It's the capital for financial fraud and rehypthecation. From there money can be routed through countries like Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Monaco to evade the tax.

In my opinion though, its all talk because to many powerful people with links to our political class don't want to upset this arrangement because they know if they can do it to Musk they can do it to anyone else they feel like going after. A lot of dirty money would probably move out of London to somewhere else.

What's that?

I'm saying this because the fatso idiot who is their minister of Defense, said that Putin and his top generals should end like the Nazis. Now imagine if that fat toad were to succeed in that. Obviously, they would have nothing to lose by just nuking them to hell.

It is not "we will jail Elon" but "any executive". It is misleading. The title suggested that they would be actively going after him and only him.

What other mainstream platform is advocating for free speech? Gab is a little niche boomer site compared to Twitter.

Because the law is broad enough that it will jail GAB executives or Minds or any other platform if they go there.
