Excellent post here from Preston Byrne, full text attached below for those without X accounts.

This is not right-wing American bombast or imperialism, this is just them wanting to be left alone as anyone else would want:

Folks in London might be wondering whether my instructions really are to destroy the Online Safety Act or whether this is an exaggeration. 

These are my instructions.

Let me explain the situation for you. I represent four American companies who have violated no laws in the United States. For this non-crime, the British authorities are threatening my clients with fines, arrest, and prison terms if they don’t give up their rights.

We explained this to the UK, sending memos and citing applicable US caselaw, on many occasions. Half a dozen at least. The UK, flouting every norm of international law and UK-U.S. treaty arrangement, didn’t listen. They kept coming. They wouldn’t listen to reason. They refused to back off.

My American clients are entitled to peacefully enjoy their constitutional rights when they’re in America. But, for years now, the UK has made it clear that it would never stop hunting them. With the OSA they thought they’d have the power to finally compel their obedience.

There is only one solution to that legal problem. That is to permanently destroy the UK’s ability to threaten my clients, and, by extension, its ability to threaten any American.

We can’t change an Act of Parliament, but we can pull domestic US levers. It is our country, after all.

Wyoming GRANITE is half of the solution – the shield. If Congress steps in and backs up the states, we’ll have the sword too. Then my clients will be hunted no more.

If that happens, the entire global censorship apparatus will collapse. If, at that point, the UK is looking for someone to blame, it need only look in the mirror.
