**The Guardian Pulls Content from Elon Musk’s X, Criticizes “Toxic Media Platform”**
On Wednesday, Britain’s *The Guardian* newspaper announced it would cease posting content from its official accounts on Elon Musk’s platform, X (formerly Twitter). The decision followed the newspaper’s growing concerns about the platform’s environment, which it described as a “toxic media platform” hosting “often disturbing content.”
The move marks a significant departure for a major media outlet, signaling increasing frustration with X’s content moderation policies under Musk’s leadership. *The Guardian* expressed its concerns over the platform’s role in amplifying harmful or misleading content, particularly after Musk’s changes to the platform’s rules and enforcement measures. The decision is likely to fuel ongoing debates about the responsibility of social media platforms in managing online discourse.
While *The Guardian* did not rule out future engagement with X, the paper made it clear that its current stance is a reflection of its commitment to responsible journalism and its growing unease with the platform’s direction.
