Sad Orange Rapin' Grampy learns John Roberts' Christ Child Anointing does not shield Truth Social from UK censorship

'Censor my site?' Trump shocked as he's told UK could block Truth Social

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-truth-social-2673772076/

Truth Social, the flagship product of Trump's media company and the subject of a number of ethics questions about stock ownership, has been used as the president's primary platform to announce policies, rant about politicians and judges who annoy him, make endorsements, and generally air out what's on his mind, ever since he was kicked off the platform previously known as Twitter following the January 6 riot — even though under tech billionaire Elon Musk he was allowed back onto it.

"There are new powers here to censor your site," a British reporter told Trump during the presser.

"To censor my site? You mean Truth? Truth Social?" said Trump. "Well, I don't think he's going to censor myself because I say only good things. Will you please uncensor my site?"

"Yeah, we don't," said Starmer. "We're not censoring anyone. We've got some measures which are there to protect children, in particular from sites like suicide sites. We've had too many cases in the United Kingdom of young children taking their own lives. And when you look through their social media, they've been accessing sites which talk about suicide and, you know, encouraging if you like children down that road. And that is what we want to stop. Nothing about censoring free speech."
