U.K. publication The Guardian will no longer post on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter that has been taken over by Elon Musk. “This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism,” the publication said. “It will become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time.”Representatives for X did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment. The Guardian added that X users will still be able to share its articles on the platform and that it may still embed posts on X into its stories. The Guardian reporters are also still able to use X as a newsgathering resource and do not have any restrictions on having profiles on the site themselves.
