As for Internet and silencing podcasts, Elon Musk has MORE power than the UK government, if Twitter was to pull out of the UK, they'd probably suffer a recession
Unlikely. There'll just be a UK version of Twitter.
If anything, there would be celebration of Twitter exiting the UK. Worse still, they'd prefer to have an internal network which can be crafted and regulated by Government "for your own safety" and "for the safety of the children". It just isn't practical at the moment without destroying your economy or facing a massive backlash - that takes time unlike in regimes like North Korea, Cuba or Iran. But I suspect a national Intranet outside of Government and business is coming and will happen eventually.
Unlikely. There'll just be a UK version of Twitter.
The only reason I doubt it'll END up that way than them attempt it is talking with my British friends there's a pattern that they tell me keeps occurring:
ALL government projects for the past decade have failed, been delayed to obscurity, ran over budget and been so woefully inept that they fall apart immediately.
I don't doubt they'll at least try but it'd be MORE buggy than a Bethesda product that they'd get hacked in seconds of launch, no one would use it and more people would use VPNs to get back to Twitter, even government employees.
They only changed the colour of the car, not the defunct civil service engine underneath..
