Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian

Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X

The Guardian has announced it will no longer post content on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, from its official accounts.

In an announcement to readers, the news organisation said it considered the benefits of being on the platform formerly called Twitter were now outweighed by the negatives, citing the “often disturbing content” found on it.
