Motion 84
Trade Union Use of X (formerly Twitter)
“That this Congress notes that X (formerly Twitter) has become a platform where misinformation, misogyny, and extremist content are increasingly tolerated and amplified.
“The platform’s leadership has weakened content moderation and publicly aligned with accounts promoting hatred, division, and intolerance.
“Teaching trade unions are witnessing the impact of online misogyny and extremist narratives on pupils and school communities.
“Congress believes that trade unions should not maintain an official presence on platforms that conflict with core trade union values of equality, respect, and solidarity.
“Teaching trade unions have a particular responsibility to avoid legitimising platforms that contribute to harm affecting all, but particularly young people.
“Congress calls on the General Council to support affiliates who choose to transition away from X, and to issue guidance on responsible social media use.”
