The Guardian Departs X, Citing Concerns Over Platform Content. The Guardian will no longer post content from its official accounts on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. The decision reflects concerns over the platform’s shift in content, which the Guardian finds “often disturbing.” “We wanted to inform readers we’re ending posts from our editorial accounts on X,” the Guardian shared. The Guardian has over 80 accounts on X, with a combined following of approximately 27 million users. The platform’s tolerance of far-right conspiracy theories and racism contributed to the Guardian’s departure. The Guardian stated that coverage of the US presidential election underscored its decision. Musk, who acquired X for $44 billion, has faced criticism from the EU and anti-hate speech groups for the platform’s content standards. Guardian articles will still be shareable on X, with some posts embedded in live reporting. Reporters may continue to use X for newsgathering, guided by existing social media protocols. Musk dismissed the Guardian’s decision, calling the publication “irrelevant” and “a propaganda machine.”
