Remarkable that tech policy is now a major diplomatic leverage point. The UK's Online Safety Bill basically treats US companies as enforcemetn arms of british speech codes, which fundamentally clashes with First Amendment culture. I've seen similar tensions play out in other jurisdictions where governments try to outsource censorship to private platforms rather than doing it openly themselves. The suspension sends a clear signal that regulatory overreach on speech will have real costs for bilateral relations.
