We must pull online harms out by the roots, not simply prune them.

To #BreakBigTech, we must:

🟢 Enforce data protection to stop targeted ads.

🟢 Make algorithms transparent and give us control over them.

🟢 Let us take our followers and data with us when we leave a platform.

The UK government is stuck treating the symptoms, not the cause of online harms.

We don’t need to ban social media or age gate the Internet.

It risks pushing children into unregulated spaces and does nothing to challenge surveillance capitalism, where Big Tech profits at our expense.

Measures to stop online harms just rearrange the deckchairs.

To get serious about it, we must attack how social media platforms do business.

Using our data to keep us online with targeted ads and 'For You' algorithms is the engine of hate and extremism. We must #BreakBigTech.

In an emotional victory speech, Spencer – who becomes the fifth Green party MP – said people were being “bled dry”.

She said: “Instead of working for a nice life, we’re working to line the pockets of billionaires. We’re being bled dry. And I don’t think it’s extreme or radical to think that working hard should get you a nice life”.

Spencer emphasised community solidarity and said she would call out politicians “who constantly scapegoat and blame our communities for all the problems in society. My Muslim friends and neighbours are just like me – human.”
