TL;DR

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport are leaving Elon Musk’s X, arguing the platform has become unhealthy for democracy due to abuse and misinformation. DCMS is the second government department to quit X after the Attorney General’s Office, while Nandy will continue to use Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. The move follows broader political backlash against Musk and comes amid ongoing reaction to the murder of student Henry Nowak and related protests, as MPs previously left X over Grok AI content concerns.
