Even putting the principle of national sovereignty aside, Ofcom’s censoriousness is seriously poisoning relations with the US. Americans take their free speech seriously, and this isn’t the first time Ofcom has targeted US platforms. Think of 4chan and Kiwi Farms, two other dodgy websites that are legal in the US but fall foul of British law. These attacks are increasingly seen for what they are: an effort by Ofcom and the great and the good in the UK to prove their moral worth in an exhibition of self-righteous anti-Americanism, purely for the consumption of soi-disant progressives at home. The optics aren’t good.
