Trump basically supercharged an agency with a long record of misconduct, handed it military‑scale funding, loosened hiring standards, and flooded it with thousands of new recruits in a climate of hate that he helped cultivate.
At that point, it wasn’t a question of if
...it was a question of when.

...the kind of thing history has warned us about more than once
All the while, every guardrail meant to restrain this kind of force is falling away...
- Judicial oversight weakened
- State investigators are now getting blocked from reviewing shootings
Accountability is evaporating

If a human was being paid to create this material, we’d rightly throw the book at them. So why should X get a free pass?
Fine them to the hilt and if they won’t comply, shut it down. We wouldn’t tolerate this offline. Why online?

There is an endemic misogyny in our society - perhaps it has always been present but the poisonous masculinity of power that Trump encapsulates allows men to articulate it - causing men to seek the humiliation of women. Please call it out when you see it, if only to help its victims feel less alone.

But a definite shift in language from Downing Street. For a very long time they wouldn't make even the mildest criticism of X or Musk. Now looks likely UK authorities will ultimately take some form of action against the site
