Social media posts falsely state Sadiq Khan is proposing to exempt ‘minority religions’ from charge
Sadiq Khan’s office has expressed concern after false and racially-oriented social media messages about London’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) were viewed hundreds of thousands of times without being taken down.
The concern over the tweets, which falsely claim the London mayor plans to exempt Muslims and other “minority religions” from the charge, came after analysis that indicated there could be a paid-for campaign using fake accounts on X, formerly known as Twitter, to amplify anti-Ulez sentiment.
