Citizen Vigilante: Complaint written to UK regulator over anti-migrant film

An NGO combating Islamophobia, Mend, has filed a complaint with the UK media regulator Ofcom regarding the promotion of the film 'Citizen Vigilante' by Elon Musk on his platform X.

The film gained significant attention after Musk shared it freely on X, leading to widespread circulation without age restrictions. Mend argues that the film's content endorses and glorifies the killing of Muslim families, raising concerns about its potential to incite violence.
