Far-right agitator ‘Tommy Robinson’ has embarrassingly deleted an X post attacking Keir Starmer for potential plans to restrict the social media platform. Robinson took a screenshot of a YouTube ad offering “GAY LOVE…NO AGE LIMIT” and used it to claim that Starmer:

wants to control X because he fears it.

User @EFCevie pointed out in response that YouTube “ads are personalised based on what you interact with”. Robinson’s post was then deleted:

‘Kid Starver’ Starmer, of course, doesn’t care about protecting kids. If he did, he wouldn’t have earned that nickname, or be enabling Israel’s slaughter of hundreds of thousands of children in Gaza. But he’s happy to exploit the idea of protecting kids to attack a platform often used by his critics on both left, right and far, far right.

Of course, for the sake of absolute fairness, the fact that Tommy Robinson deleted his post after the personalisation was pointed out doesn’t necessarily mean that the personalisation post was the cause of the deletion. Or that even if it was, then embarrassment over his YouTube viewing habits was the driver. But it also might well mean that – and he’s been known to delete posts that don’t work out well.
