Footage Of Anti Illegal Immigrant Protests Is Now Being Blocked In The UK
The development comes as the so called Online Safety Act law came into force for social media companies on Friday.
The law was passed by the previous Conservative government, just one of the many disastrous policies they embraced that led to the leftist Labour Party coming back into power with a massive majority last year.

British users of X shared screenshots of messages that popped up while they attempted to view footage from the protests, which started in Epping after a migrant sexually assaulted a teenage girl and have since spread around the country.

The Free Speech Union remarked 'Our fears appear to have been vindicated on the very first day of the Online Safety Act's enactment.'
'If you have a standard X account in the UK – presumably the majority of British users – it appears that you may not be able to see any protest footage that contains violence. We're aware of one censored post that shows an arrest being made,' the post added.
'We warned repeatedly about how censorious this piece of legislation would be,' it concludes.
The age checks are purported to be in place to block children from seeing pornographic content, however, they seem to have been broadened to any content deemed to be violent, or misinformative, at least on X.

'The online safety bill is to protect kids,' we are told, as footage of police arresting people demanding protection for their kids is censored from the internet. — Benedict Spence (@BenedictSpence) July 25, 2025
Even parliamentary speeches, this one being about Pakistani rape gangs, are now blocked.

The government has threatened to fine any social media platform up to £18 million or 10 per cent of its global turnover, if it is deemed to have contravened the law.
X owner Elon Musk, while not specifically addressing the restriction of protest footage, said on Saturday that the Online Safety Act's 'purpose is suppression of the people.'

Meanwhile, close to 300,000 people at time of writing have signed an online petition calling for the repeal the Online Safety Act, surpassing the requirement for parliament to consider a motion for debate.
In response to the apparent censorship, searches for VPNs in Britain reportedly surged by over 700 per cent on Friday.

The Telegraph report states:
An elite team of police officers is to monitor social media for anti-migrant sentiment amid fears of summer riots.
Detectives will be drawn from forces across the country to take part in a new investigations unit that will flag up early signs of potential civil unrest.
The division, assembled by the Home Office, will aim to 'maximise social media intelligence' gathering after police forces were criticised over their response to last year's riots.
So there's a whole new 'elite' unit monitoring spicy tweets, but criminals are just roaming free to do as they please.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage urged last week that owing to rampant crime and the unwillingness to deal with it, the country is on the verge of societal collapse.

Thailand, Cambodia Agree To Ceasefire
Thailand and Cambodia agreed to an unconditional ceasefire to halt the deadliest border clashes in over a decade. The agreement was reached on the fifth day of fighting, or about two days after President Trump threatened to withhold trade deals from both countries unless a swift resolution was reached. Thailand's Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet met earlier in Malaysia, in talks hosted by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar facilitated a breakthrough, unconditional ceasefire deal between the two countries, which have been fighting over their highly disputed 500-mile land border. Anwar serves as the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Washington and Beijing both deployed envoys to support talks. 'Both Cambodia and Thailand reached a common understanding as follows: One, an immediate and unconditional ceasefire with effect from 24 hours local time, midnight on 28th July 2025, tonight,' Anwar said after the talks. Thailand and Cambodia will enter into an unconditional ceasefire starting at midnight on Monday, Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has announced.

'The purpose of this meeting is to achieve an immediate 'ceasefire', initiated by President Donald Trump and agreed to by the Prime Ministers of Cambodia and Thailand,' Cambodian PM Hun Manet wrote in a post on X. Over the weekend, the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia intensified, with 34 dead and more than 168,000 displaced across the 500-mile land border between the two countries. President Donald Trump called both leaders on Saturday, warning that no trade agreements would be made with either country unless the fighting stops. And days later, a ceasefire was just brokered, averting what could've escalated into war with spillover effects in the region.

Pilot, Doctor Arrested In Kuwait Airport After Ammunition Found In Luggage
Kuwaiti authorities have arrested a pilot and a doctor employed by a local airline after customs officers at Kuwait International Airport discovered 64 rounds of ammunition in the doctor's luggage, the Ministry of Interior said. Security officials said the doctor, a Pakistani national, admitted during questioning that the ammunition had been supplied by a Kuwaiti pilot. Acting on the tip, security forces arrested the pilot at the airport. During interrogation, he corroborated the doctor's account. A search warrant was subsequently executed on the pilot's home and vehicle, where investigators uncovered a cache of 500 unlicenced rounds of ammunition, 87 bottles of alcohol, and equipment allegedly used to produce liquor, according to the ministry. The two suspects have been referred to the public prosecution for legal proceedings. The arrests came as part of a broader nationwide crackdown on law violations. Authorities said 192 wanted individuals and violators have been detained in recent days under the directives of Sheikh Fahad Yousef Al Sabah, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior.
