The UK government has expressed frustration with X after the platform declined an invitation to discuss recent online harassment campaigns targeting the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy described the company's decision to skip the meeting as "disgusting" during an interview with Sky News.

The RNLI has faced a wave of coordinated social media attacks, often linked to their work assisting migrants in the English Channel. The government had sought to engage with X leadership to address how such content is moderated and handled on the platform. By refusing to participate in the dialogue, X has drawn sharp criticism from government officials who argue that social media companies have a responsibility to address harmful content that targets charitable organizations.

In response to the platform's absence, Nandy indicated that the government is prepared to move forward with additional legislation aimed at governing the internet. While the specific details of these potential new laws were not fully outlined, the minister emphasized that the government intends to hold platforms accountable for the environment they foster. X has not provided a public statement regarding their decision to decline the meeting, leaving the government to pursue its regulatory agenda without the platform's direct cooperation.
