Trump Suspends ‘Tech Prosperity Deal’ With UK Over Censorship and Regulations by ‘Online Safety Bill’ Hurting US Tech Companies
No free ride for UK leftists.
After the new National Security Strategy and the latest Donald J. Trump interviews, there’s no doubt in anyone’s minds that the US President will deal in a much tougher fashion with the European ‘allies’.
From now on, implementing deranged policies that infringe basic human rights and hurt US interests will have a price.
Now, Trump has suspended the ‘Tech Prosperity Deal’ with the UK over its censorship push.

The Telegraph reported:
“The White House paused the tech prosperity deal amid concerns the Online Safety Act, which regulates online speech, will stifle American artificial intelligence companies, the Telegraph understands.
The law allows the British government to levy large fines on tech giants it deems have facilitated hate speech.”
After the rise of artificial intelligence, companies like OpenAI or xAI can face huge fines – harming their growth and giving China an edge in the AI race.
“On Tuesday, it was revealed that the £31bn agreement has been suspended as the White House seeks to improve terms on a wider UK-US trade deal agreed in May.
On Dec 3, Liz Kendall, the Technology Secretary, said the government planned to impose new restrictions on chatbots to ensure AI companies do not benefit from loopholes in the law.”

“’The perception is that Britain is way out there on attempting to police what is said online, and it’s caused real concern’, a source with knowledge of the decision to suspend the deal said. ‘Americans went into this deal thinking Britain were going to back off regulating American tech firms but realized it was going to restrict the speech of American chatbots’.”
