I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists:
X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

My mom was asked by the police to issue a statement in the local press appealing for calm following my father’s killing. In 1988. I truly don’t know what the solution is to kneejerk retaliatory violence, and I wrote an entire book about it.
As a wider point, govt should also explain how it plans to reconcile
- fair access to official govt comms
- direct access to MPs
- X being mandatory login
- lowered voting age to 16
- proposed social media ban for under 16s
Unless they want politically ignorant young voters, of course.
I suspect Musk did not say anything that is prosecutable, but the concept of culpability can be spirit as much as letter. The correct course of action is for the government to stop using X for official comms, meeting spirit with spirit. Govt should defend how using X meets SAFER criteria.
It is linked to poverty, lack of education and therefore opportunities can create a particular environment, but it is and always has been also a tool of rich powerful men. Farage, Musk, they’re as culpable as the rioters.
