The Guardian stops posting on Elon Musk's X, urging others to follow suit

The Guardian announced on November 13 that it will no longer post on Elon Musk's platform, X. This decision marks a shift away from supporting the platform, which has faced criticism for fostering division and hatred. Martin Drewry, CEO of Health Poverty Action, urged public figures to ensure their posts are accessible on other platforms, like Bluesky, to reduce reliance on X. He emphasized that posting solely on X supports Musk's influence. Hannah Penfold expressed support for The Guardian's decision, hoping other media outlets and government departments will follow suit. She noted the challenge of leaving behind a large follower base but encouraged finding audiences on alternative platforms.
