Government pulled negative online poll about digital innovation

A Freedom of Information request shows the government removed an online poll after receiving overwhelmingly negative responses.

The request asked about social media polls run by the Department for Enterprise agency Digital Isle of Man in July and August, along with details about any that were removed.

In its response, the organization said it had removed one poll on LinkedIn about digital business innovation on the Island - 93 per cent of respondents said we could do better.

A redacted internal chat shows the poll was pulled after a staff member said "I'm not too sure if this fully aligns with our purpose of promoting the IOM".
