Britain’s Minister of Media said, in a statement, that the reason X is being used is to bypass the rules, as minister Lisa Nandy said. She said that the regulator in X should be responsible for the platform «to tackle misinformation and harmful content».

The materials also state that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is responsible for setting out the rules for regulating X. In particular, another regulator, which is responsible for regulating the platform, should investigate whether X is being used to spread harmful misinformation.

In a statement, two-time Guardian columnist Andy Burnham wrote that the regulator Angela Rayner (Richard Hermer) said that the reason was not published in X. He said that it is possible, in particular, that the platform violates the rules for the protection of users from harmful content.
