OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada says it's moving away from the social media platform X.
In a farewell post Wednesday to its more than 45,000 subscribers, the top court said it will focus its communication efforts on other platforms.
It invited people to follow the court on its LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts for updates.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Stéphanie Bachand said the court would concentrate on "platforms that allow us to best serve the public and provide relevant information about the court's work within our limited resources."
"For now, the court’s account on X will remain visible, but will no longer be actively updated," she added.
According to its account profile, the court joined the platform in 2015 when it was known as Twitter.
In recent years, Chief Justice Richard Wagner has stressed the importance of communicating with Canadians about the court's work.
