The UK Is Trying To Use MP Assassination To Call For Social Media ID Verification System!!!


Speaker of the UK Parliament's House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, has backed measures to eliminate internet users' anonymity, connecting threatening communications received by politicians online with their overall safety, particularly in light of last week's tragic stabbing of an MP.

Hoyle's remarks come in the wake of the assassination of Conservative MP David Amess, which is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack, with the suspect's objectives tied to Islamist radicalism.

The suspect, a British citizen of Somali ancestry, was sent to the Prevent scheme several years ago as a strategy to reduce the risk of terrorist radicalization. At this moment, it's unclear whether the suspect had previously targeted his victim on social media or why the link is being made.

However, some high-ranking officials, including Hoyle and Home Secretary Priti Patel, are using the terrible incident to brainstorm methods to better protect MPs, one of which is robbing online users of their anonymity.

According to reports in the UK media, Hoyle said that he received a message from an "offshore account" threatening to plant a bomb under his car. He chastised tech companies for not doing enough and signaled that he supported new legislation that would allow authorities to track people online if they are suspected of transmitting threats.

Patel, on the other hand, wants social media accounts to be connected to real-world identities. He also referenced the impending Online Harms Bill, which supporters claim will curb bigotry and threats on the internet, while detractors believe it will damage free speech.

Under the bill, digital companies could be fined up to £18 million or 10% of their annual global turnover, with their executives potentially facing criminal charges in some situations.

Patel said it was difficult to delete insulting or threatening remarks from social media, and that unmasking people could help.

"When councilors and MPs report behavior that would be criminal in the real world, major platforms must respond faster," Conservative MP David Warman said, adding, "that starts with acknowledging that anonymity gives protection for language that would never be spoken to anyone's face."

Illegal Aliens Do Not Need Proof of Vaccination Because ‘Not Intending to Stay' The White House admitted on Monday that border crossers would not be required to show proof of vaccination, despite the fact that the government requires proof of vaccination or a negative coronavirus test for all other travelers entering the country. When questioned by reporters about the apparent double standard on vaccination requirements, White House press secretary Jen Psaki argued that illegal immigrants and migrants crossing the border had no intention of staying in the US. “They’re not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time,” she said, referring to migrants. “I don’t think it’s the same thing. It’s not the same thing.” As they seek entry to the United States, nearly 15,000 immigrants, mostly from Haiti, have set up a makeshift camp beneath the Del Rio International Bridge on the Texas-Mexico border. On September 10, Psaki admitted that under the Biden administration's vaccine ma...

  Republicans See CRT As A Way To Win Big With Suburban Voters! According to data by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and Chairman Rick Scott, Senate Republicans regard education and the debate over Critical Race Theory (CRT) as key topics in the 2022 midterm elections. A study of 1,200 potential suburban voters conducted by the NRSC in 192 suburban counties across 37 states, CRT in education is a winning theme for Republicans heading into the 2022 midterm elections. The study found that suburban voters believe American public schools are failing students who are falling behind their peers internationally, that they largely oppose CRT in schools, even though Democratic figures continue to defend CRT or claim it is not taught in K-12 schools, and that they overwhelmingly believe biological males should be barred from participating in high school and college women's sports. Scott told the Daily Caller News Foundation, "Democrats are failing American parents an...

  We Must Stop Facebook From Meddling With Our Elections!!! You most likely recall where you were on November 8, 2016. And you undoubtedly recall what you witnessed that evening, the American political establishment imploding in real time. We saw Wolf Blitzer and John King anxiously circling counties where Hillary Clinton could, just perhaps, be able to scrape out enough votes to win. We witnessed sobbing journalists and producers, unable to comprehend what had just occurred. And we witnessed Donald Trump, the new president-elect, deliver an incredible victory speech. What we didn't see was the behind-the-scenes network of Democrat operatives, legislators, nonprofit leaders, and tech millionaires vowing to never do it again. Let's fast forward four years to the presidential election of 2020. We were told that the never ending pandemic required states to modify or disregard election regulations. As hundreds of millions of blank ballots were mailed out, many to those who had not ...
