Federated and decentralised platforms show that another model is possible.
They're not perfect, but they reduce dependence on any single owner, platform, algorithm, or business model of driving hate for profit.
We can't have someone like Musk giving himself a megaphone and deciding what an entire network sees.

UK politicians and the government should lead by example.
If they're serious about reducing the influence of harmful social platforms, they should engage with citizens in federated spaces, rather than Musk's rage-fuelled machine.
A healthier Internet is possible, if we only choose to build it.

The awful scenes in Belfast are a reminder that it matters how information spreads.
We need to build a healthier information environment where no single company, government or billionaire can pervert public debate.
That means tackling the concentrated power of X and Musk's propaganda algorithm.

Re: Agenda for meeting with social media bosses.
✅️ Uphold data protection to tackle targeted advertising.
✅️ Make algorithms transparent and give users control over them.
✅️ Introduce social media switching rights like banking and mobile phones, so we can change platforms without losing networks.

The UK Government should take note. Age ID checks for Internet access won't solve online harms. It does nothing to tackle their structural causes: advertising-driven business models built on surveillance, profiling and maximising engagement. All it does is threaten privacy. We must #BreakBigTech.

Our report details how we can improve the online environment by empowering users.
Pursuing online safety in ways that preserve and even strengthen the dominance of Big Tech is a self-defeating mission.
We need to break these monopolies and push for competition through interoperability.

An LA Court's ruling on Meta and Google exposes the real causes of online harms.
Engagement-driven design and data-fuelled advertising business models put people at risk.
Yet the UK government's approach to online safety has focussed on keeping kids out and locking adults in to toxic platforms.
