My Lords, I am sure that the Minister has seen the recent reports of X generating on-request sexualised images of people without their consent, including of children, yet the Government repeatedly prioritise the use of X. To give just one example, the Home Office’s public social media policy encourages the use of X by promising to read all messages sent to it via that platform, a promise that is not made about any other social media network. Is it
not the time for the Government to stop prioritising and promoting the use of X ahead of other social media network platforms?

My Lords, I genuinely do not agree that we prioritise the use of X, but 19.2 million British citizens use X. It is incredibly important, in an age of misinformation and disinformation, that facts are available on the platforms people are using, as opposed to the platforms we wish people were using, which is why the Government will continue to post organic content on X.
To ask His Majesty’s Government what plans they have to reduce their reliance on the social media platform X for government communications.

My Lords, happy new year. The Government use an audience-first approach, assessing all communication channels against the GCS SAFE framework. Paid advertising on X has been suspended since April 2023; the platform is used only for organic content. We continuously evaluate all channels’ value for money and brand safety and use a wide range of digital platforms to reach all UK audiences.
To ask His Majesty's Government what recent assessment they have made of the social media network X in line with the guidance SAFE Framework: the 4 principles for HMG Brand Safety, and when that assessment was made of X as an appropriate network for government communications.

The Government Communications Service (GCS) undertakes assessments of platforms, such as X and Bluesky, when there are significant platform updates. The last assessment on X was made in April 2023.
SAFE is the single, comprehensive framework that the government uses for these assessments, providing thorough guidance and processes to ensure appropriate use of digital advertising environments.
The platform X is currently used for non-paid communications activity only (also known as 'organic' activity). There are currently no government or ministerial accounts on Bluesky and no SAFE Framework assessment has been completed.
