Very ROBUST intervention by UK govt spokesperson today:
"While every country has the right to set its own visa rules, we support the laws and institutions which are working to keep the internet free from the most harmful content".

I think we can add this to the growing list of exhibits evidencing "Twitter is damaging our political culture". Only a Twitter-brained BBC producer would even use the phrase "cultural erasure" let alone think it is a meaningful or credible 'threat'.
