Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission

I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).

By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?

Thank you for your consideration

Exactly, #LeaveX. It's as simple as that.

If you agree, PLEASE REPOST
Wir haben vor einem Jahr Klage gegen X erhoben – und vor Kurzem in einem wesentlichen Punkt gewonnen. Wir haben mit Anwalt Chan-jo Jun eine Anleitung daraus für euch erstellt, wie man richtig meldet – und wir brauchen eure Hilfe, um uns weiter gegen Musk zu verteidigen. https://www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/gewinnt-gegen-x/
Volksverpetzer gewinnt gegen X! Muss Musk in den Knast?

Volksverpetzer hat gegen X vor Gericht gewonnen. Lese hier unsere Anleitung, die auf diesem Urteil basiert, wie genau du rechtswidrige Inhalte richtig meldest. Außerdem: Wie du uns helfen kannst, hier weiter zu kämpfen – und ob Musk deshalb Knast droht.

Social media companies, no matter the size, should prioritize mental health, including mental health of children and young people. Downplaying risks or ignoring them just to pursue growth at all costs cannot be accepted. https://time.com/7336204/meta-lawsuit-files-child-safety/

Court Filings Allege Meta Downplayed Risks to Children and Misled the Public

Newly unsealed court filings allege Meta tolerated sex trafficking, hid harms to teens, and prioritized growth over user safety for years.

@leavex It could make more sense to focus on outreach to policymakers to show them issues with X and why supporting European-made social media networks is in the best interest of the EU, including for digital sovereignty.

@leavex would a «shame and blame» approach work ? Like a massive add campaign targeting individuals with posters showing their names and functions, and e.g. an estimate of the amount of public money they feed into Musk's pocket ?

IIRC, some economists estimated that each tweet yields 20 cts in revenue for X. And that probably does not account for the benefits in disinformation.

Absolutely, @bjoernsta ! The numbers behind #SaveSocial clearly show that German civil society is mobilizing.

Based on experiences in Brazil and Europe, I’ve seen that fragmentation can unintentionally weaken political leverage. While petitions are essential for mobilizing citizens at the national level, the #LeaveX campaign focuses on a different layer of power: the European politicians and institutions that continue to legitimize X despite its growing role in political destabilization.

The Leave X campaign centers precisely on this legitimacy gap. Combining citizen mobilization with European-level political pressure could have a greater impact than either approach alone.

We’d be open to exploring how these efforts could converge.
