Photo: ADRIAN DENNIS / AFPSource: AFPBritain's The Guardian newspaper announced Wednesday it would no longer post content from its official accounts on Elon Musk's X, branding it a "toxic media platform" home to "often disturbing content". It added that its "resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere". "The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse." The paper's main X handle -- @guardian -- was still accessible Wednesday but a message on it advised "this account has been archived" while redirecting visitors to its website.
