I personally think you are right and they will attempt to create a new state approved X clone in the short term. Which is probably why they are bringing forward the request to enforce the next stage of the Online Safety Act which allows for fines, shut downs and blocking. In the long term they will probably transition residential Internet users to a national Intranet where everything will be curated, licensed and controlled by the state "for your safety". As far as the Government is concerned, user generated content was a mistake that should never have happened.
It's likely Labour will also ban VPN's. They tried to bring in an amendment to the Online Safety Bill but failed. Now they have the numbers to succeed.
It looks like their next tactic is to arrest people based on "inaccurate information" as per the new Online Safety Act 2023. And further to the post I made on the same subject, we know that the person arrested is a prominent critic of the Government, in particular when it came to lockdown, vaccine and mask mandates - Bernie Spofforth, who has appeared on GB News and Talk.
