I would like to express my concern that as a company you still widely support X, Facebook, and the other social media giants. These platforms are largely unregulated, unmoderated, and have a track record of fuelling division and hatred. Certain platforms also interfere in electoral processes. It is inappropriate for a national broadcaster to tacitly support such manipulative and divisive commercial operations that flout our laws and common decency.

I advocate the use of either open social media (e.g. the Fediverse/Mastodon), or to return to an old-fashioned subscription model (e.g. mailing lists, RSS feeds, etc), where what people see is controlled by the consumer of the information rather than the social media platform.
