Starmer Breaks Promise To Trump In Bid To Censor Website That Fueled His Rise

The UK “thinks it can dictate American conduct on American soil,” says attorney for 4Chan, who is urging action by Trump and Congress

When President Donald Trump met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in July, he demanded that it not censor Americans. “I cannot imagine him [Starmer] censoring Truth Social,” said Trump about his social media platform. “I only say good things about him and his country.”

In response, Starmer defended the 2023 Online Safety Act, saying “we’re not censoring anyone” and that the law is geared toward protecting children.
