Britain's Online Safety Bill would make it mandatory for social media services to tackle both illegal posts as well as material that is "legal but harmful," a vague definition that has attracted criticism from some in the tech industry over concerns that it may stifle free speech.
"Twitter and all social media platforms must protect their users from harm on their sites," a U.K. government spokesperson told CNBC.
"We are introducing new online safety laws to safeguard children, prevent abusive behaviour and protect free speech," the spokesperson said. "All tech firms with users in the U.K. will need to comply with the new laws or face hefty fines and having their sites blocked."
The stakes for platforms like Twitter would be even higher under the Online Safety Bill, which threatens jail time for company executives for serious violations, as well as penalties of up to 10% of annual global sales.
The legislation, which is yet to be approved by U.K. lawmakers, is expected to become law later this year.
Musk said earlier in the day after the EU's threats were issued that, "The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all."

Thierry Breton, EU Commissioner for the Internal Market, threatened Musk on Tuesday that he must comply with the new Digital Services Act (aka the Censor The Internet Act) or else Twitter will face massive sanctions and be banned from the EU.
From The Financial Times:
... Breton said he wanted to offer a "reality check" to Musk's plans for less stringent moderation. The EU commissioner, who was key in negotiating the new Digital Services Act, warned that a lack of compliance from Twitter risked a ban for the platform in Europe.
He said: "Anyone who wants to benefit from this market will have to fulfil our rules. The board [of Twitter] will have to make sure that if it operates in Europe it will have to fulfil the obligations, including moderation, open algorithms, freedom of speech, transparency in rules, obligations to comply with our own rules for hate speech, revenge porn [and] harassment."
"If [Twitter] does not comply with our law, there are sanctions — 6 per cent of the revenue and, if they continue, banned from operating in Europe," he added.
The White House on Monday touted their support for Section 230 "reform" and reiterated their long-stated goal to hold social media companies "accountable" for the "harms they cause."
"By 'free speech', I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people," Musk said.
It's truly remarkable how these Western regimes will condemn China and Russia for cracking down on dissent while they actively wage total war against free speech and free expression in their own countries against their own subjects.

Musk hasn't exactly been a reliable pundit.... I'll reserve judgement until Twitter is properly cleaned up but I'm not ever going back regardless.
With governments proactively blocking Twitter from being a freedom platform, any transformation could be dead in the water.

Private social media companies are not about 'free speech'. They are about advertising and subscription profit.
The use of the term 'free speech' in this context is specious, at best. I'd say it's a marketing ploy by an elite billionaire.
In any case, incitement, defamation, fraud, obscenity, child pornography, fighting words, and threats, are not protected speech in the US.

They are protected against government regulation unless they meet the criteria of what is not protected.
Private social media companies are not the government, and have no such criteria for what is allowed/disallowed speech.
As a private company they can set whatever standards they like, and if you don't like, your option is to opt out.

Point of all this is to alter a platform that does not allow free speech currently to allow all views ... As it is now there are none short of the conspiracy sites and even they generally do not allow certain mainstream views so are not free either .. and not an alternative for thinking people in the first place

Atlantic contributing writer Jeffrey Rosen published a May 2 piece praising Tesla CEO Elon Musk's view of Twitter and free speech: "Elon Musk Is Right That Twitter Should Follow the First Amendment."
Musk's perspective on remaking the censorship-obsessed platform into a public town square that encourages diversity of opinion is backed up by "[a] long history of free-speech jurisprudence," Rosen said.
He didn't mince words: "Free citizens in a liberal democracy shouldn't trust any centralized authority—public or private—to make decisions about what books, music, and other content they can safely be exposed to."
Musk's position is, in fact, convincing. Although private companies are not required to follow the First Amendment, nothing prevents them from doing so voluntarily. And in Twitter's case in particular, there are strong reasons to believe that the First Amendment should presumptively govern. All four of the main principles that have historically guided the Supreme Court in interpreting the First Amendment apply just as powerfully to social-media platforms as they do to governments.

"Drinking cow's milk is like driving a gas guzzler. The dairy industry is one of the worst contributors to the climate catastrophe. What happened to caring about the environment? Now chocolate oat milk we can get behind," PETA tweeted.

Musk took the opportunity to explain his feelings about the Democratic Party, their relationship to labor unions, and Tesla's exclusion from a White House electric vehicles event because the company is not unionized.
Musk took particular issue with the Democratic Party's strong relationship with union leadership.
He continued, "Last year, Biden held an EV summit where Tesla was explicitly not allowed to come, but the [United Auto Workers] was. So, Tesla has made two-thirds of all the electric vehicles in the United States."
The UAW is one of the most well-organized and politically powerful unions in the United States, with influence in both political parties.
Musk took issue with Biden praising GM CEO Mary Barra at the EV summit for leading the "EV revolution," in a quarter where GM delivered just 26 electric vehicles. "That's some next-level insanity," Musk said.
He reiterated, "They have so much power over the White House that they can exclude Tesla from an EV summit — insane."

The name Wilson is the maiden name of the teen's mom, Justine Musk.

According to MacLeod, former high-profile FBI figures Dawn Burton, Karen Walsh, Jim Baker, Mark Jaroszewski, and Douglas Turner, as well as former FBI agents listed as Matthew W., Patrick G., and Bruce A., and FBI employees Cherrelle Y. and Laura D. all once held or currently hold positions at Twitter related to policy, security, finances, or legal issues.
Whistleblower Coleen Rowley, a former FBI agent, said she's not at all surprised, claiming that there's now a "revolving door" between federal agents and the companies they were once charged with policing.

Alan MacLeod of MintPress News has just released an exposé of the hiring practices in Silicon Valley, particularly at Twitter, and his findings suggest that many social media companies have filled some of their highest security positions and most influential positions with former members of federal agencies, including the FBI, CIA, and the military.

In a different story twitter employees and former employees whined that Elon Musk was trying to starve them to death because he ended free meals on the company dime. As if workers getting paid $200,000 per year are just unable to buy theor own food. This is me playing the world's smallest violen.

Elon Musk has clamped down on exorbitant meal costs. The New York Times reported on Nov. 11 that Musk plans to make employees — who according to Zippia earn a starting salary of $106,000 — pay for their own lunches. Meals had previously been subsidized by the company.
