"At least seven Irish local authorities are reviewing how they use X, while several others have reduced activity, shifted towards alternative platforms or gone dormant entirely."
At least seven local authorities in Ireland are actively reviewing their use of X. Several other councils have reduced activity, shifted toward alternative platforms, or gone dormant on the site. Only a minority of councils explicitly cite AI-related concerns, including problems linked to X's Grok chatbot. Most councils report that their engagement with X is now under routine or strategic reassessment. The reassessments reflect caution about platform governance, content moderation, public communication risks, and uncertainty around AI chatbot behaviour. Some councils are choosing to log off the platform entirely as a precautionary measure.
