Cornwall councillors agree to stop using Twitter

A town council in Cornwall has agreed to stop using a social media platform for official business.

Marazion Town Council said it was one of the first 213 councils in Cornwall to ban the use of X, formerly known as Twitter.

As part of a full council meeting, the motion was passed on a majority decision by councillors they would stop using the platform as a tool to publicise what it is doing or to talk with residents.
