EDIT:
News Corp has also been leading a separate campaign called Let Them Be Kids calling for the minimum age for social media to be raised.
I am a bit worried we will end up like Brazil where the government will end up banning X, if the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill is passed.
Brazil’s ban on private citizens use of X/Twitter is overreach, and I would not like something like that bought in here.
I do believe though that all levels of government (and government MPs) should withdraw their presence on X and not use it as a form of engagement or for information dissemination. Doing so gives X unwarranted ‘legitimacy’ as an information source when a lot of the other stuff on there is grade A bullcrap and under Elon’s rule this gets left unchallenged.
I’m more tolerant of Facebook as (despite it’s massive flaws) they do at least make more of an effort against this sort of thing and are somewhat more willing to cooperate with governments.
