New Brunswick is leaving X after recent concerns surrounding the social media platform’s operations.
In a post that was shared on X — as well as Facebook — Premier Susan Holt said the province will no longer use X for routine communications.
“Protecting the safety and well-being of young people is a core responsibility of the government,” she wrote.
“We recognize that the platform’s recent history, including reports of harmful content and inadequate safeguards, has eroded trust that it can be used in a way that aligns with our values and obligations to New Brunswickers.”
