Here’s an unexpected Trump victory: the UK is shelving its proposed ban on “harmful” online speech, out of fear that it could derail negotiations with Trump to get his 10% tariff lifted.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has shelved plans for an Online Safety act, that would force tech companies to take down what it considered “legal but harmful” content on social media or face large fines.

Starmer reportedly feared that pushing for such a new law would derail trade talks with Donald Trump, who has correctly called the proposal “anti-free speech.” Opposition leaders, such as Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has called the proposed law “legislating for hurt feelings.”

Bravo to Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance who helped showcase the dangers of the Online Safety Act, by pointing out that Britain was already sending police officers to the doorstep of newspaper columnists and bloggers to cite them for vague violations of speech codes.
