TL;DR Summary

The Guardian has decided to stop posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, citing the platform's "toxic" environment and its role in shaping political discourse under Elon Musk's ownership. The newspaper expressed concerns over disturbing content and Musk's support for Donald Trump. Despite this, The Guardian will allow article sharing and continue using X for news-gathering. The decision aligns with its stance as a liberal voice opposing Trump, and it has seen a surge in reader donations post-election. This move raises questions about whether other media outlets will follow suit, as platforms like Meta's Threads and Bluesky gain traction.
