Campaign urges UK government to quit toxic social media platforms

Original: # UK Govt must move away from # toxic social media Sites like Facebook, Instagram & YouTube track & profile users to tar

A renewed push is calling on the UK government to stop relying on major social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube for public communication. Critics argue these sites track and profile users to target advertising, and that their algorithms amplify extreme content, fueling online harm. The campaign says a government that warns about digital harms should not depend on the platforms accused of causing them.

Why now: Growing concern over online harm and platform surveillance is pressuring governments to reconsider their dependence on big tech networks.
