X is owned by a Nazi. It promotes the far right and calls for civil war and the overthrow of our govt. Its algorithm suppresses liberal voices. Its bots spew out disinformation and its AI tool posts abusive images and CSAM.
The “counter narrative” to that has to be to regulate it or shut it down.

Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

Latest from me in The Guardian: about how Farage, Jenrick etc won't be beaten until their delusional version of the UK's past is exposed. And why this should happen in the culture (a la Rock Against Racism) rather than through, say, Keir Starmer speeches www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
In 2026, remember this: Britain is much better than it was in so many ways. Don’t swallow the right’s lies | John Harris
Populists rewrite the history of this nation because they were complicit in much of its ugliness. The progressive fightback must start now, says Guardian columnist John Harris

People missing the point ENTIRELY. This is nothing to do with the authenticity/credibility of the document. The attempt to suppress it is prima facie unlawful, explicit under s.(b)(1) of the act Congress passed last month, signed into law by Trump himself. "Turned out to be fake" is *not* a defence.
