Premier Susan Holt confirmed Thursday afternoon the New Brunswick government will stop using the social media platform X for “routine communications.”

The decision comes just hours after the province’s child and youth advocate raised concerns about the platform in an open letter to Premier Holt and her government.

Kelly Lamrock wrote that X has refused to “rein in the use of its platform for the sexualization and exploitation of children,” and that X’s artificial intelligence tool, Grok, allows users to alter an image to show a subject in sexualized positions.
