Only 17% of Austrian MPs are still on X.
Compare that to Sweden, 66%, the Netherlands, 63%, and the EU, 58%, that gap is striking.

Finland is often cited as a leader in digital literacy and counter-disinformation. It makes me curious how Finnish politicians assess X today, as a neutral platform, or as an active disinformation risk.

Which European country will be the first to seriously lead by example and walk away from this disinformation machine?
