I used to live just down the road from this in Liverpool. Locals burnt it down and stopped the fire brigade from putting out the fire.
Twitter unbanned Tommy Robinson, which is driving a lot of this. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cl4y0453nv5o
Oh good, Elon’s jumped on the “stop the boats” bandwagon now.. for a killer who was born and raised in the UK.
After burning down libraries and attacking mosques, the mob have now moved onto Holiday Inns.
Somebody is going to end getting killed if this continues.
It is blatant racism and those involved and those who enable it - including Elon after unbanning Tommy and engaging with this stuff on his own platform - should feel ashamed of themselves.

Sounds good, I can see signal is next.
The problem is, that these platforms are e2ee which for many is essential, esp if journalist or at risk from oppressive regimes, having people on there who take full advantage of that to set up riots, will fuel argulents to clamp down on these platforms which of course will have a drametic (and perhaps deadly) impac on the very people who need to use them.
@zleap @GossiTheDog signal is secure at protocol level but not /that/ secure at device level, and all these groups can still be infiltrated by old fashioned detective work.
