Major Media Outlets Abandon Musk's X Amid User Exodus
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian
The Guardian has decided to stop posting on Elon Musk's social media platform, X, citing concerns over "often disturbing content" such as far-right conspiracy theories and racism. The decision was influenced by the platform's handling of the US presidential election coverage. Despite withdrawing its official accounts, the Guardian will allow individual reporters to use X for newsgathering and will continue to embed X posts in its reporting. This move follows similar actions by other organizations like NPR and PBS, which have also distanced themselves from the platform.
