Several bishops from Gloucestershire have announced their decision to leave the social media platform X, citing growing concerns about increasing polarisation on the site. This move follows just two days after Elon Musk, owner of X, spoke at a protest in London organized by controversial figure Tommy Robinson. The bishops expressed unease that the platform’s environment is becoming hostile and divisive, which conflicts with their mission to promote unity and understanding within communities. Their departure highlights ongoing debates about the influence of social media on public discourse and the responsibilities of platform owners in managing content. By quitting X, the bishops hope to take a stand against the spread of division and encourage more respectful, balanced communication online.
