The Guardian has announced it will no longer post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, from its official editorial 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. Concerns over disturbing content drive decision The Guardian cited the "often disturbing content" on X as the main factor behind the move, signaling a shift away from the platform. The newspaper also emphasized that its official accounts on X, which have a combined following of approximately 27 million, would no longer be used for direct posting. The Guardian, which operates over 80 accounts on X, also reassured followers that individual reporters would still be permitted to use X, within the guidelines already set by the organization.
