VIDEO: ‘If You Censor Me, It’s a MISTAKE!’: Trump WARNS UK PM Starmer Over Truth Social BAN

Oneindia

During a joint press conference at his Turnberry resort, Donald Trump pushed back on the UK’s Online Safety Act, warning that any censorship of his Truth Social platform would be “a mistake.” British PM Keir Starmer reassured the public that the law is aimed at protecting children, not silencing voices. Trump, claiming he supports Starmer and the UK, emphasized the importance of free speech. The heated exchange reignites debate over where to draw the line between online safety and censorship—especially when it involves global political figures.    #DonaldTrump #KeirStarmer #OnlineSafetyAct #FreeSpeech #TruthSocial #UKPolitics #ChildProtection #InternetCensorship #TrumpUKVisit #DigitalFreedom #SocialMediaRegulation #OnlineSafety #PressFreedom #TrumpSpeech #UKLaws #CensorshipDebate #Turnberry #OnlineHarms #TechPolicy #TruthVsLaw #TrumpStatement #StarmerSpeech #UKFreeSpeech #ProtectChildren #InternetSafety #SpeechRights #TrumpNews #BreakingNews #UKNews #PoliticalClash  ~HT.410~GR.125~

00:04Will you please uncensor my site?

00:06Yeah, we're not censoring anyone.

00:08I cannot imagine him censoring truth, social.

00:11That's more of a very political, and it's been a very big success.

00:16And if they censor me, you're making a mistake.

00:19I'm going to give my ambassador the job, make sure it's not censoring.

00:22I had not heard that.

00:41Yeah, we're not censoring anyone.

00:43We've got some measures which are there to protect children, in particular from sites like suicide sites.

00:51We've had too many cases in the United Kingdom of young children taking their own lives.

00:57And when you look through their social media, they've been accessing sites which talk about suicide

01:03and encouraging, if you like, children down that road.

01:15Free speech in this country has been for a very long time.

01:17We're very, very proud of it.

01:19We will protect it forever, but at the same time, I personally feel very strongly that

01:24we should protect our young teenagers, and that's what it usually is, from things like

01:28suicide sites.

01:29I don't see that as a free speech issue.

01:31I see that as a child protection issue.

01:32We actually passed a bill in Congress, headed up by my wife, actually, which was to pull

01:39bad stuff out, having to do with children, because it is a problem.

01:43But I cannot imagine him censoring truth, social.

01:47That's more of a very political, and it's been a very big success.
