Simon O'Connor: Control, curate, and censor
Labels: Clerk of the House (David Wilson), Fourth Estate, No longer use X, Simon O'Connor, X (formerly Twitter)The motivations to stop using X - be it media or now the Clerk of New Zealand's parliament - are couched in moral terms by opponents, but it's all really about control, curation, and censorship.
In what I can only describe as a rather poorly considered, and mostly likely politically motivated action - unconsciously or otherwise – the Clerk of New Zealand’s Parliament has decided that the Parliament will no longer use the social media site X (formerly Twitter).
