    The UK (and other countries) should instead heavily tax companies that advertise on sites proven to spread disinformation. Couple of hefty fines for a few big advertising users and Twitter starts to lose (even more) money since it isn’t worth the risk of advertising there.

    Direct action against Musk or Twitter isn’t going to work. We need to be sneaky ☺️.

      Issue with that ia the cost of fighting.

      You fine someone like Musk. He will take ot to court and has the fiscal clout to make the fight to expensice for the government.

      Heck even the US IRS has difficulty taxing billionaires due to this.
