The Guardian stops posting on X, citing concerns over content and discourse

The Guardian has decided to stop posting on X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk. The newspaper stated that the negatives of being on X now outweigh the benefits, and it will focus its resources on other platforms. While The Guardian's reporters can still use X for gathering news, the newspaper will no longer maintain its 80 official accounts, which have over 27 million followers. The decision follows concerns about disturbing content and the platform's influence on political discourse. Other media organizations, like NPR and PBS, have also left X this year due to similar issues. The Guardian's exit raises questions about whether more outlets will follow suit.
