Labour MEP Aodhán Ó Ríordáin left X over a year ago.

Dublin MEP and Labour Education & Justice Spokesperson Aodhán Ó Ríordáin left X over a year ago. In a Facebook post last December Aodhán posted a ‘reminder of why I deleted my X account last year’ indicating that he may have left the platform in 2024.

Twitter was once my platform of choice.
The news this week is a reminder of why I deleted my X account last year.
In a petty retaliation to the EU’s €120m fine for breaching online content rules, Elon Musk’s X has now banned the Commission from making ads.
The EU’s fine is about basic consumer protection. It shows we stand up for our people, not the unchecked greed of reckless & childish tech billionaires.
X hands a megaphone to far-right poison & disinformation. It erodes our democracy. And it leaves our consumers and young people dangerously exposed to exploitation.
Think twice before giving X your clicks.
