The Mana balss portal has started collecting signatures to restrict or ban the activities of the X platform. The author of the initiative, Guido Oscar Grava, draws attention to the growing amount of disinformation spread on this platform.
Grava calls on Latvians and the authorities to assess whether “X” is in Latvia's interests as a social network.
He believes that the country should set an example for other EU states in introducing restrictions to ensure a better digital environment where information is verified by people.
