A British-made documentary exploring the U.K.’s descent into Orwellian language-policing is itself being censored on X.
British outlet “spiked” produced a documentary focused on rising censorship in the U.K. “Think Before You Post” explains how the U.K. has become a country where “at least 30 people a day are now arrested in England and Wales for social-media posts.” Ironically, the documentary is being censored.
The British outlet reported that the censorship is likely a result of a 2023 U.K. law that included age verification rules, which have recently taken effect. When spiked posted the documentary on its X account, the post was censored, requiring users to log into an age-verified account in order to view it.
