The Guardian Bans Posting on X Amid Concerns Over Toxicity
The Guardian has decided to cease posting on X, previously known as Twitter, citing concerns over the platform’s ‘toxic’ environment. The British newspaper group voices apprehension regarding the influence of its owner, Elon Musk, on political discussions, particularly surrounding the US presidential election. Although users can still share articles and the publication may embed posts in its reporting, the Guardian believes the drawbacks of participating on X outweigh any benefits. The decision comes amidst widespread criticism from users, some accusing the outlet of promoting ‘woke propaganda.’
