Liz Truss to launch ‘uncensored’ social network to counter mainstream media

a year ago by SleafordMod to c/uk_politics

Former PM says she wants to protect free speech after being ‘cut off at the knees’ by ‘the elite’ while at No 10

Interesting.

Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?

It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech

Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.

It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.

I feel you overestimate her relevance to the everyday person. The's "that prime minister that was there a really short time" and I don't think people care anymore.

Except the people like us that see news from her as a current tory MP doing stunts like this saying "fuck that lettuce"

Seems like it.

Read uncensored as "we get to pick what we allow." And people will cheer when "libtards" are censored, like it's some victory.

They just need to admit they want a safe space and be done with it.

I feel a bit bad for her because I think she takes the whole thing very personally, which is probably why she has become so defensive.

I wonder if she ever will say "okay sorry guys, maybe I made some mistakes". If she did then maybe people would mock her less. People are a bit relentless in mocking her these days.

Because Muslims are mass assassinating LGBT folks.

Change a the word Muslim to Jew and see how your comment sounds.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
