One Pump Court Chambers has left Twitter / X
14 Aug 2024
Aligning our values with a positive online environment
This announcement comes with a touch of reflection. For some time, X (formerly known as Twitter) has played a significant role in our online presence and community building. However, we’ve reached a point where we must prioritise our values and the kind of online environment we wish to contribute to.
The recent changes on X particularly under Elon Musk’s leadership, no longer resonate with One Pump Court Chambers’ core principles. We believe in fostering a space for constructive dialogue, factual information, and respectful discourse. Unfortunately, the current trajectory of the platform contradicts these values.
Challenges and concerns
- Amplification of Misinformation and Hate Speech: The moderation practices on X raise concerns about the spread of untruths and hateful content. We cannot be part of a platform that amplifies these voices, especially during times of social unrest.
- Negative Online Culture: The platform increasingly fosters a hostile and divisive atmosphere, characterised by anger, harassment, and a disregard for truth. We will not contribute to an environment that detracts from productive conversations and undermines civil discourse.
Where to find us
