"The Online Safety Act, which came into effect earlier this year, requires tech platforms to remove illegal content and enforce age verification or face steep penalties, among other regulations. Davey claimed to the BBC that Musk had dismantled X's child safety team, enabling disturbing content to spread. 'He (Musk) is actually, I think, committing crimes,' Davey stated. 'Ofcom should go after him. The laws are there. What his business is doing is against the law because it is disgusting.'"
"X has faced criticism in the UK and Europe over content moderation policies since Musk's takeover. Musk, in turn, has accused regulators of suppressing free speech, calling Ofcom's enforcement 'heavy-handed' and the legislation 'suppression of the people.' The dispute comes as the Liberal Democrats gather in Bournemouth for their annual party conference. At that event, organized by activist Tommy Robinson, Musk warned of 'uncontrolled migration' and declared that 'violence is coming.'"
Sir Ed Davey urged communications regulator Ofcom to investigate Elon Musk for alleged breaches of the Online Safety Act on platform X. He claimed X is hosting harmful content including grooming and self-harm materials and said Musk had dismantled X's child safety team, enabling disturbing content to spread. The Online Safety Act requires platforms to remove illegal content and enforce age verification or face penalties. Davey called Musk's actions criminal and pushed for Parliament to summon the CEO over remarks at a Unite the Kingdom rally. Musk countered by accusing regulators of suppressing free speech and labelled Davey a craven coward.
