Peers pressed ministers on whether departments should keep using X after the Attorney General’s office stopped using it, arguing that the platform is still badly affected by abuse, bots and disinformation. The Government said each department should decide for itself whether X is the right way to reach people, noted that paid advertising on the platform has been stopped since April 2023, and said Ofcom and other democracy-protection measures should be used more forcefully if online threats are not being tackled effectively.

Peers challenged ministers over whether Ofcom and the Online Safety Act are doing enough to tackle antisemitism, anti-Traveller abuse, algorithmic amplification and crisis disinformation on platforms such as X; the Government said Ofcom is engaging with major platforms, a stronger crisis code will be brought to Parliament, and further action will follow its review of online hate and algorithms.

Peers questioned whether government action is strong enough to tackle rising antisemitism, especially on social media and in education, as ministers pointed to the Online Safety Act, security funding, £7m for schools and universities, and a promised response to Sir David Bell’s review.
