Not even Corbyn, Sultana or Polanski have abandoned x yet. The lure of appealing to its user base is too much.

A very based opinion that should immediately be followed through with.
Moving large amounts of government communication to these social media platforms was a dire mistake and has given the foreign tech billionaires who own them vast amounts of influence within our country.
They can and must be curtailed, before it is too late.

Have some balls Starmer and do it.
They’ll find something else to cry about. Even if you came out and supported their freedom to make AI porn, they’ll still hate you.

Yes please. MPs are so out of touch they probably think Twitter is a place to be.

is there any benefit to anyone being on twitter now?

This is obviously a great idea, but you can understand why ministers wouldn’t want to do it.
It basically means that anyone they’re running against in an election can use Twitter to reach their constituents, while the ministers cannot. It would be easy to enforce this against ministers but I can’t imagine how they’d enforce this against people running to be one.

I see various NHS departments are on Twitter and using Facebook as well. I can understand some public announcement awareness stuff being beneficial. But is Twitter really necessary?

Using a platform that is so openly biassed is a poor decision for any public official.

Why should we care about what a Russian Twitter king has to say?

They don’t want you informed, it’s painfully obvious.

It’s a solid point about the outsized influence these platforms now have. The government shouldn’t be giving a single billionaire that much leverage over public discourse. Getting official communication off that site is a necessary first step to reclaiming some control.

Remember when this place was up in arms over a Reform council refusing to speak to a local newspaper? That was apparently a terrible attack on democracy, but the prospect of the Labour government running and hiding from a hostile media environment is apparently fantastic.
