Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia has stopped publishing on social media platform X, citing it as a "disinformation network." The paper criticized the platform for spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation, and for failing to effectively moderate harmful content. British news outlet The Guardian also announced it would cease posting on X, calling it a "toxic media platform." The Guardian noted that the recent U.S. election highlighted its concerns about the platform's influence on political discourse. Both outlets expressed worries about the rise of fake accounts and harmful content since Elon Musk's acquisition of X. They will continue to monitor discussions on the platform but will prioritize other channels for their journalism.
