Andrew Smith says being online can be beneficial but also creates challenges
An MHK says politicians have to be careful when using social media, describing it as 'not a safe platform'.
Garff member Andrew Smith says current Tynwald members have been targeted by fake accounts and emails.
Several MHKs and MLCs use websites like Facebook and X to interact with Manx residents.
While Mr Smith says there can be benefits to being accessible online, he warns that replying to members of the public can create issues:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
