Summary
The Guardian has announced it will stop posting on Elon Musk’s platform, X, citing “often disturbing content” such as far-right conspiracy theories and racism.
The news outlet, with 27 million followers across over 80 accounts, stated that the US presidential election coverage on X reinforced its view that the platform had become “toxic.”
While The Guardian’s official accounts will withdraw, reporters may still use X for newsgathering.
This move follows similar actions by NPR, PBS, and other organizations concerned about the platform’s content standards under Musk’s ownership.
Better watch out, Musk might sue
(/s, just in case it wasn’t obvious enough)
I just love how we went from naming it “Twitter” to “Elon Musk’s platform, X”.
Yes because fuck Elon. His own postings have a multiplicatior and things he does not like have the opposite. What’s the point of using his shitty right wing platform?
You have to engage with them? Dumbass, these people do not play fair. I hate how legacy media foolishly embraced these idiots playing fair and now guess what.
If we can get all of the sports reporters to head over, that might be the final death blow to Twitter.
If athletes leave Twitter then ESPN won’t post their tweets.
Just saying
