Britain has had a big problem with Elon Musk and X for a long time. As we reported last year, London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley threatened to extradite and imprison American citizens, including Musk, over online posts. Musk, who endorsed and voted for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (and claimed to have voted for Joe Biden), is now seen as a far-right extremist, which is how a centrist would look to a far-left extremist. The U.K. establishment hates Musk for using his platform to post about things like the Pakistani grooming gangs cover-up.
Sky News has done a nine-month investigation into X and concluded that the algorithm pushes far-right content in its For You feed. We imagine this was done in the same way Media Matters managed to find Nazi content next to ads from large companies.
Listen to this piece and see how the flying of the English flag is now considered far-right.
"The X algorithm prioritises sending new users right-wing leaning content", a Sky News Data and Forensics investigation reveals.

Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, is butthurt.
Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country.

It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy pic.twitter.com/VyzFgqhfKV
People are proposing Community Notes, revealing that "Sky tested 9 new accounts for 2 weeks and found that 60% of their political posts were categorised as right-wing. This is not a full audit of X’s recommendations for all users; outcomes depend on account setup and interactions." In another, someone suggests noting that "'Sky News worked closely with digital consultancy firm 411 to conduct this analysis.' 411 is a consultancy made up of former Labour campaign staffers."

The British government seems concerned with two things: protecting Muslim "asylum-seekers" from "anti-migrant sentiment" and policing social media for any such content.
Sky News set up 9 accounts on this site and had the phony Center of Countering Digital Hate catalog the content of the For You tabs.

Post England’s flag? That’s right wing extreme content to them.
That’s the extent of this “scientific” study. 🤡
Oh noes, not right-leaning content. Heavens!

As the clown in the video said, Musk bought X and rolled back the censorship, and suddenly the platform became more right-wing. Maybe that's because right-wing people were censored and shadowbanned on Twitter. The public is finally getting its say on X, and they're not thrilled with unchecked migration from Muslim countries.
Now do Bluesky.

Well if Sky says it, it must be true.

I have no reason to question anything here.
Good to know, after so long the lesftists got the loud voice and the traditional value got silent, that's a good news. Well done X!

"Anti-immigrant sentiment." As I reported last month, Member of Parliament Ayoub Khan welcomed the news that fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli soccer team, would not be permitted to attend the match at Aston Villa in Birmingham … for their own safety, of course.
That match took place tonight in Birmingham, and here is what it looked like.
🚨 Masked protesters have been filmed posting “Zionists not welcome” signs in Birmingham hours before the powder-keg game between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, which kicks off at 8pm tonight.

Islamist jihadist glorifiers, the echo of the Muslim Brotherhood, now roam Birmingham’s streets, attacking @MaccabiTLVFC, a football team from Israel where Arabs, Muslims, Druze, Christians, and Jews play as one. A team of humanity and sport, not politics. Yet in Aston, they wave… pic.twitter.com/Cj4Tjy0Rrg

The post continues:
… the flags of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and Sudan’s jihadist army, every flag but Britain’s own. This isn’t a protest.
It’s a parade of hate, a warning shot at civilization itself.
#AVFC
Can someone explain to me how Israeli fans were banned from coming to the game, yet a massive crowd of Islamists who throw stuff at people, hunt Israelis, and chant against Jews is okay?

What the hell’s going on in Birmingham?

Supporters of Israel's team who did show up were reportedly fenced off.
The British Jews who have gone to show there should be no places unsafe for Jews in the UK have been escorted to a ‘Jew pen’ by the police.

As antisemitic ‘anti racists’ walk past they scream ‘baby killers’ at the British Jews. pic.twitter.com/Ks2krmBvBU
A reminder that Muslims are responsible for all the trouble surrounding the Aston Villa v Maccabi game. All of it.

Careful … far-right anti-migrant sentiment like that could literally land you in prison for 31 months.
