I’ve wrote to just about every Government department and various bodies about X.
Their excuses so far from the responses I’ve had for remaining on the platform is engagement and reach for which they have zero evidence to back up such claims.
I’ll publish all the nonce responses here.

I wish local authorities would sort their shit out when it comes to data protection legislation, the things they insert into DSAs the ICO would quite frankly rip them apart for.
Trying to make your employees and contractors employees liable for an agreement they’re not party to is staggering.

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.
“Why can’t we have any regulations for US tech in Britain?”
Because the US trade rep has gone to every country including Britain and said if we regulate tech in a way that favours our people, industries and national interests, the US will bury us in tariffs and ruin our economy.

This is no surprise and I’m sure it goes way beyond the debate around Scottish Independence.
The volume of “inactive”followers on X that people and organisations think are part of their reach is likely staggering.

Iranian-linked Scottish accounts fall silent again
A network of social media accounts posing as Scottish independence supporters has fallen silent once again, closely mirroring a fresh shutdown of internet access inside Iran.

I’ve never felt unsafe in London, but then we also have to acknowledge other parts of the UK have also been subjected to some awful and unfair misrepresentation from a London centric media.
I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?

In 1980, Tyne Tees' magazine show for teens, CHECK IT OUT, gave kids in the North-East of England the lowdown on nuclear war. And it's a delight from start to finish.

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.
