Labour MPs begin quitting X over ‘hate and disinformation’
Exclusive: MPs leaving platform or scaling back use over its ‘deterioration’ under Elon Musk’s ownership
The only alternatives mentioned were Threads and Bluesky.
You're viewing part of a thread.
No you cannot. Assuming you're not from the UK.

First one is about Germany, not UK. Secondly, you do realise wikipedia is unreliable, prone to edit wars and subject to those that have the most passion for a topic (like free speech "absolutists"/racists). It's why academia tell you its a poor reference and to not bother.

John Richard here is definitely an American. He doesn't understand the difference between "free speech" and "freedom from hatred"
Those of us in truly modern countries enjoy the latter and are very happy to have it.
It's a common thing in backward-thinking, religious countries to think that the former is better.
