Paris Mayor Abandons Elon Musk's X, Labeling it a "Gigantic Global Sewer"

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has announced her departure from the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, labeling it a "gigantic global sewer" that is detrimental to democracies due to the spread of abuse and misinformation. Hidalgo criticized the platform's owner, Elon Musk, for exacerbating tensions and conflicts, citing manipulation, disinformation, antisemitism, and attacks on various groups. The mayor's decision comes amidst criticism of her own, including a controversial trip to Tahiti, which opponents argue was outside her jurisdiction.
