A UK government spokesperson said: 44 The UK is fully committed to upholding the right to free speech. “While every country has the right to set its own visa rules, we support the laws and institutions which are working to keep the internet free from the most harmful content. “Social media platforms should not be used to disseminate child sex abuse material, incite hatred and violence, or spread fake information and videos for that purpose.” US secretary of state Marco Rubio had accused the five Europeans of leading “efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose”.

Is UKGOV calling the White House a nonce?
Because they should!

Secretary Marco Rubio & @ @SecR...- 18 xe. X 3 For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose. The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship. Today, @StateDept will take steps to bar leading figures of the global censorship-industrial complex from entering the United States. We stand ready and willing to expand this list if others do not reverse course.

This from the same nation who pulled a documentary on one off it's concentration camps on foreign soil on Sunday?
That and thousand other things.
Sit down you Yankee clown! 😡

The content has caused concern inside Labour. “The rise of fake news online is a serious threat to our democracy,” a spokesperson said. “The public will be rightly alarmed that democratically elected leaders and institutions are being undermined by bad faith foreign state actors and those seeking to profit from misinformation.

It really is if like they asked ChatGPT, the statement from Labour is just an AI summary of the story and how people are reacting to it. This is not running a country, this is just reacting to shit!

Yellowstone geyser explosion In a screenshot from a video shared by the US Geological Survey on Facebook, Yellowstone park visitors flee a hydrothermal explosion in the park's Biscuit Basin areaCourtesy of Vlada March, via USGSBy Julie Evensen | The Oregonian/OregonLive Videos of animals appearing to flee Yellowstone National Park have gone viral, leading to speculation that the park’s infamous “supervolcano” may be about to blow. Climate website Green Matters reported Tuesday that videos of “animals leaving the park have gone viral, prompting people to worry about what could be driving them away.” Those videos have been shared widely online this week, often coupled with claims that these are massive and unusual migrations of animals away from the park — a sure sign that the dreaded supervolcano is going to erupt shortly. On TikTok, creators ranging from conspiracy theorists to psychics to an AI-generated Bigfoot have weighed in, and they all agree you should definitely panic. But … not so fast. What do the experts say about all this?

(AP Photo/Matthew Brown, File)APIs Yellowstone about to erupt? The short answer is no, not like that, anyway. Fears about an impending eruption of the supervolcano that created Yellowstone have circulated online for years. Social media posts and misleading online videos often claim that the Yellowstone supervolcano is “overdue” for another catastrophic eruption, like the one that initially created its caldera about 630,000 years ago. However, according to the United States Geological Survey, that’s simply not how most supervolcanoes work. “Most volcanic systems that have a supereruption do not have them multiple times,” the agency says in an online FAQ. That means that, while it’s possible Yellowstone may see more volcanic activity in the future, it probably won’t be on that scale again — and it’s certainly not “overdue.” In the event of any future activity, we would have plenty of notice. Yellowstone is closely monitored, and signs of significant seismic disturbances would show up decades in advance. .

(Ryan Dorgan/Jackson Hole News & Guide via AP, File)APWhy are the animals fleeing, then? They aren’t. Scientists and park officials told Yahoo that there is “no unusual animal migration occurring.” Animals like grizzly bears, bison, elk and mountain lions simply move around in the park and the surrounding area with the seasons. The videos are likely just capturing the natural migration of animals.

The U.S. Geological Survey defines a supervolcano as “a volcanic center that has had an eruption of magnitude 8 on the Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI), meaning that at one point in time it erupted more than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles) of material.” So, yes, the Yellowstone caldera was created by volcanic activity from a so-called supervolcano. But, according to the USGS, it’s a little complicated: “The largest eruption at Yellowstone was 2.1 million years ago and had a volume of 2,450 cubic kilometers. Like many other caldera-forming volcanoes, most of Yellowstone’s many eruptions have been smaller than VEI 8 supereruptions, so it is confusing to categorize Yellowstone as a ‘supervolcano.’” Photographer on Grand Prismatic Spring with puffy clouds overhead in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

A little, like most areas with a lot of volcanic activity, but not because of any immediate danger from the Yellowstone caldera. Last July, similar fears spread online after a dramatic hydrothermal eruption at one of the park’s geysers was caught on camera by a park visitor. The explosion showered park-goers with mud and boiling water. The National Park Service said in a news release at the time that “a localized hydrothermal explosion occurred near Sapphire Pool in Biscuit Basin, located just north of Old Faithful.” No one was injured, but dramatic video and images of the explosion circulated widely online.
