La Vanguardia stops posting on X over disinformation concerns

La Vanguardia, a Spanish newspaper, announced it will stop posting on the social media platform X, citing concerns over disinformation and conspiracy theories. This decision follows The Guardian's similar move the previous day. The newspaper criticized X for lacking effective moderation, which it claims has allowed harmful content to thrive. La Vanguardia highlighted issues such as hate speech and the spread of false information, particularly regarding recent disasters in Spain. Despite ceasing its posts, La Vanguardia will continue to monitor discussions on X and allow its journalists to use the platform, provided they adhere to guidelines on human rights and respectful communication.
