Musk’s Riot Provocations Prompt UK to Seek Tougher Online Rules

Live Mint  

Keir Starmer called for a “mature conversation” with social media companies to limit malicious content that’s stoked days of rioting in the UK. On Monday, Kyle’s office said he met with executives from Meta Platforms Inc., Alphabet Inc.’s Google, TikTok and X to discuss “the spread of hateful misinformation and incitement.” The next day, Musk compared the UK to the Soviet Union and accused Britain of “two-tier policing” — a conspiracy theory that has grown online that police forces treat Britons differently based on their politics. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said its “immediate focus is working with the social media companies to tackle content that has contributed to the disorder of the past week” but confirmed that “there will be a longer-term debate to be had about the wider framework for tackling online harms.” “Musk appears to be deliberately thumbing his nose at any sense he’s held accountable,” said Bruce Daisley, a former vice president for Twitter. It’s happening on your premises, and the law must be upheld everywhere,” Starmer said at a news conference, calling for “a mature conversation to take place.” Musk has increasingly wielded his influence to forge relations with senior politicians — including former UK Premier Rishi Sunak who he interviewed while attending a summit on artificial intelligence last year.
