Former Twitter exec Bruce Daisley has called on the UK government to bring the already-passed Online Safety Act into force immediately to tackle Musk: “If companies don't comply there is the potential for senior leaders of the organisations to be held criminally responsible themselves…
At this point I think that’s the common sense route to fully ensure the security and stability of the UK.
How would that even work? Ofcom's not finished writing the regulations yet and consultations on the proposed regs are on going. Rushing to enforce OSA will only show how much of a mass the law is.
“It’s criminal liability that mobilises senior leaders into taking action".
Hopefully, the droves of folks leaving X will make the advertisers think about withdrawing. Lobbying them from the consumer base would be good too. Hit Musk in the pocket, the only thing he notices.
Do you have a link to these quotes?
Just the threat of action might be enough to get Musk to withdraw Twitter from the UK which would be fine.
Is there anything that can be done to charge Musk? He's inciting violence in the UK. Sure it's sort of subtle, but still.
Yeah, they need to show this guy, that he is not god emperor and actions have consequences
