Only 17% of Austrian MPs are still on X.
Compare that to Sweden, 66%, the Netherlands, 63%, and the EU, 58%, that gap is striking.Finland is often cited as a leader in digital literacy and counter-disinformation. It makes me curious how Finnish politicians assess X today, as a neutral platform, or as an active disinformation risk.
Which European country will be the first to seriously lead by example and walk away from this disinformation machine?

@leavex I don't know about "still". Do you have stats on how many ever were on X?
Austrian MPs don't understand social (or antisocial) media. -

Austrian MPs don't understand social (or antisocial) media.@PaulaToThePeople @leavex See also: all of CEE, twitter was never relevant there outside of Poland, the biggest but also the most "Tu vuo fa l'Americano" of all the countries in the region.
For a third of the EU, the preferred method of brainrot, Russian propaganda and general disinformation has always been Facebook, later joined by tiktok. -

@leavex if you don't mind sharing, what's the current percentage for Italian MPs?

@angelomassaro someone needs to scrape their data. I'm currently focused on the German MPs.

@leavex Given that Finland currently has a right-wing goverment with Christian conservative tendencies and a sock puppet with the personality of a soggy brown paper bag for a prime minister, far too many are happy to be there. I don't have any solid data on hand, but of those who were there in the first place, only a few Greens and some from the left-wing parties have left.

@leavex Looking forward to see the German results.
The percentage will surely be too high - but it needs to be put in perspective: How many were there at max? -

@leavex I think that X / Twitter was always a second option after Facebook. While a lot of people has already left X, they are still on FB, which is not less harmful and toxic.
