Review Request – Use of US-Owned Social Media Platforms by Saskatchewan Politicians

Dear Auditor General,

I am writing as a concerned Saskatchewan resident regarding the use of US-owned social media platforms, specifically X, BlueSky, and YouTube, by elected officials for public and official communication.

Recent reports indicate that X has been using artificial intelligence to generate child sexual abuse material and other forms of illegal pornography. BlueSky, on the other hand, has been selling user data to US-based data brokers. The continued use of these platforms by politicians raises serious policy, security, and operational risks for government communications.

When politicians maintain accounts on these platforms, citizen interactions may expose personal information to foreign jurisdiction, potentially compromising privacy protections and the security of official communications. The continued use of X by some Saskatchewan politicians raises particular concerns regarding compliance with best practices for secure and responsible government communications.

I recommend that these accounts be discontinued and that all politicians review their social media policies to ensure alignment with Canadian standards for data protection, security, and operational integrity. Similarly, politicians should consider moving away from YouTube and other US-hosted platforms and explore Canadian alternatives, including the possibility of establishing Saskatchewan-based Mastodon, Lemmy, and PeerTube servers to host social media and video content locally and securely.

I respectfully request that your office review the security, policy, and operational implications of elected officials using US-owned social media platforms and provide guidance or recommendations on safer alternatives for government communications.

Encouraging the use of Canadian-hosted, open-source platforms would reduce reliance on foreign services, improve data security, and strengthen the integrity of government communications in Saskatchewan.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I would appreciate any guidance or action your office can provide.

Sincerely,

Reann Legge
