At its meeting of 4th September, Felixstowe Town Council passed the following Motion:
This Council is deeply saddened by the recent riots fuelled by hatred, far right extremism and Islamophobia on social media, in particular the X (formerly Twitter) platform.
X appears to be doing little to restrict this hateful content.
As a result this Council determines to suspend the use X as a form of communication and instructs the Civic & Community Committee to review the Council’s Press & Media Policy accordingly.
On the resolution of the Motion, the Council will therefore no longer be posting on the X.com platform until further notice.
