The Guardian Leaves Elon Musk's X, Citing Far-Right Conspiracy Theories and Racism
Nov 13, 2024, 11:40 AM
The Guardian has announced that it will no longer post content on X, formerly known as Twitter, from its official accounts. The decision comes after concerns over the platform's promotion of "often disturbing content," including "far-right conspiracy theories and racism." The Guardian described X as a "toxic media platform" and cited that "resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere." The media outlet noted that it has been "considering this for a while" and believes the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives. While The Guardian will cease posting on its editorial accounts, it will continue to use X as a source for news gathering and allow others to share its articles on the platform. The decision also reflects concerns that Elon Musk, owner of X, has used the platform's influence to "shape political discourse."
