British Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has left X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, condemning it for prioritising "abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate" at the expense of democratic discourse. Her department, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, will also cease using the platform — making it the second UK government department to do so, following the Attorney General's Office, which departed last month citing persistent racism and misogyny. The move comes amid mounting regulatory pressure on X owner Elon Musk, including an Ofcom investigation into the platform's Grok AI chatbot over the generation of illegal non-consensual imagery, and broader UK government efforts to tighten online safety rules.
