UK culture minister Nandy says she is leaving X

Britain's culture minister Lisa Nandy said ​on Thursday she had ‌decided to leave Elon Musk's social media platform ​X, formerly Twitter, saying ​it now "favours abuse and ⁠misinformation over meaningful debate".

"I've ​decided to leave this ​platform and my department will too," Nandy said in a ​post on X.

"A ​platform originally designed for free speech ‌and ⁠expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn't healthy ​for ​our ⁠democracy or our communities and I ​don't want to ​support ⁠it," she added.'

Nandy's Department for Culture, Media and ⁠Sport ​will also stop ​using the platform.
