Transparency and accountability in social media account closures
Tabled 28 October 2025 by Victoria Collins
That this House acknowledges the more than 44,000 people who have signed a petition expressing concern at the wrongful closure of social media accounts by Meta; recognises the importance of removing illegal or harmful content while upholding due process, transparency and effective redress but calls on Meta to provide clear explanations when accounts are closed and to enable complete data exports for affected users; and calls for the establishment of a UK escalation route, urging Ofcom and the Information Commissioner’s Office to require transparent accuracy and appeals metrics, to audit automated enforcement systems, and to ensure meaningful remedies for users adversely affected by enforcement errors.
