Tommy Robinson has been mocked online after he complained about adverts on YouTube, with everyone making the same point to him.
In a post on X, Robinson went in to bat for one of his biggest fans, Elon Musk, by defending the billionaire’s platform amid reports it could be banned in the UK.
This is following concerns that X’s AI assistant, Grok, is being used to create sexualised deepfakes of women and children.

Writing on the platform, Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, claimed the only reason Keir Starmer’s government would ban X is “because he fears it.”
To make his point, Robinson shared a screenshot of a supposed YouTube advert. The alleged ad was advertising a website for “gay love” that has “no age limit.”
Robinson said if the government were genuinely concerned about the content on social media platforms such as X, they would also take action against the likes of YouTube.
Immediately though, many pointed out to the far-right agitator that adverts on YouTube are personalised to the user based on their activity online.
