The Guardian Withdraws from Social Media X
News summary

The Guardian has announced it will cease posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, citing concerns over 'disturbing content' such as far-right conspiracy theories and racism. The publication, which boasts over 10 million followers on the platform, stated that the benefits of maintaining a presence on X no longer outweigh the negatives, and it plans to allocate resources to promote its journalism elsewhere. Despite this decision, reporters will still be able to use X for sourcing stories, and Guardian articles may still be shared on the platform. Elon Musk, who owns X, dismissed the Guardian's move, labeling it as 'irrelevant' and a 'laboriously vile propaganda machine'. The decision has drawn mixed reactions, with some commentators mocking the Guardian's stance while supporters echo concerns about the platform's content moderation. The Guardian's departure reflects broader apprehensions among media organizations regarding the influence of social media on political discourse and public safety.
