Under Elon Musk, X has fostered harmful content, misinformation, and extremism, jeopardising public safety, national security, and democratic values. Following Brazil’s example, ban the platform from operating in the UK unless and until it complies with UK laws, including the Online Safety Act.
Our key concerns with X include: its dismantling moderation systems; allowing harmful content like hate speech, harassment, and misinformation; and Elon Musk’s own extremely active role in misrepresenting sensitive issues, amplifying conspiracy theories, championing divisive figures like Tommy Robinson, undermining UK governance, endangering the safety of elected representatives, and creating a hostile and toxic environment that degrades public discourse and endangers our democratic future.
