I wasn't aware of that but wouldn't it be against the principles of democracy to penalize someone due to their political beliefs?

That line was crossed a long time ago with cancel culture, so this isn't news.

    'Cancel culture' isn't a government sanctioned censure of an individual, it's actions taken by private parties toward another private party that they no longer wish to do business with because of public pressure or public image issues. Sounds pretty free market to me.

God I'm so tired of these pathetic attempts at evading the point. No, it's not against the principles of democracy to fight back against someone trying to destabilize your democracy. The tolerance paradox applies here, Elon is begging, daring the UK to do something, and all is fair in love and war.
