The Guardian has announced it will no longer post content on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, from its official accounts. “We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X,” the Guardian said. The Guardian said content on the platform included far-right conspiracy theories and racism.

US Inflation Picks Up To 2.6% After Dipping For Months Economic pressures and political shifts reshape consumer expectations as inflation rises for the first time since MarchU.S. inflation showed signs of mild acceleration as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased to 2.6% for October, marking the first uptick since March of this year. The October inflation figure reflects both year-over-year changes and the month-over-month adjustments, with October's CPI exhibiting a 0.2% rise from September. Despite these numbers representing significant decreases since the historic highs encountered during the summer of 2022, inflation still stresses many Americans. The move came as the Fed aims to navigate complex economic terrain, where inflation goals remain slightly above the 2% target. Concerns about sustained inflation are evident, as trends suggest various household expenditures continuing to bloom, potentially dampening consumer confidence.

Porque as “desvantagens são maiores do que os benefícios”, o conhecido jornal britânico The Guardian decidiu deixar de publicar conteúdos no X, e fechar as suas contas editoriais na rede social do homem mais rico do mundo, Elon Musk. Num texto divulgado ao início da tarde desta quarta-feira, a direção do jornal informa que pesou bem a decisão mas que optou por sair. O jornal admite que as redes sociais são “uma ferramenta importante para as organizações noticiosas e ajudam a alcançar novos públicos” mas, que neste momento, “o X desempenha um papel reduzido na promoção” do trabalho deste órgão de comunicação social. “O nosso jornalismo está disponível e aberto a todos no nosso sítio Web e preferimos que as pessoas visitem theguardian.com e apoiem o nosso trabalho aí”, continua. Isto só é possível, adianta, porque o modelo de negócio do jornal “não se baseia em conteúdos virais adaptados aos caprichos dos algoritmos dos gigantes das redes sociais” mas no financiamento direto dos leitores.

O Guardian tem conta na plataforma desde novembro de 2009 e, de lá para cá, acumulou mais de dez milhões de seguidores. A consolidação da decisão do jornal aconteceu logo depois de Musk ser anunciado como integrante do primeiro escalão do futuro governo de Donald Trump. A mensagem destacou que os usuários do X poderão continuar a compartilhar os textos do site oficial e que eventualmente o veículo poderá replicar conteúdo postado na rede por outras contas. Porém, a esta altura, o X presta um papel pequeno na promoção do nosso trabalho. Nosso jornalismo está disponível e aberto a todos em nosso site, e preferimos que as pessoas acessem theguardian.com e apoiem nosso trabalho lá.”

Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, The Christians among us, including those who are at the aspirational stage, can take comfort from two aspects of the events that have overwhelmed the Archbishop of Canterbury (“Welby quits in shame at child abuse case failures”, Nov 13). The first is that, despite our being continually reminded that the church has declined to a point of no significance, there is substantial interest about what has taken place and what may now follow. The second aspect is that, unsatisfactory as it may be, the Church of England is established by law and constitutionally subject to parliament and the monarch, who is also head of the church. This means that parliament can instruct the church to get its house in

Bafta-nominated actors are five times more likely to have attended a fee-paying (private) school than the UK population as a whole, a report from UK social mobility advocacy group the Sutton Trust has unveiled. While 35% of the nominated actors and actresses went to a private school, only 7% of the population attend fee-paying schools. Recent Bafta awardees include Eddie Redmayne who attended Eton College, and Benedict Cumberbatch, who was a pupil at Harrow School.

British news outlet The Guardian has announced it will no longer post content on X due to the “disturbing content” on the “toxic media platform”, including racism and conspiracy theories. The Guardian wrote on its website on Wednesday that it had been considering the decision to stop posting on the social media outlet for a while, but the US election earlier in November “underlined” its decision. The paper’s main X handle, @guardian, was still available on Wednesday, but a message on it advised, “this account has been archived” while redirecting visitors to its website. During the US presidential election, Musk endorsed Donald Trump and used his personal account with nearly 205 million followers to push support in favour of the Republicans with several misleading posts. In recent months, some British charities and health and educational establishments have said they will no longer post to X.
