			Guardian Will No Longer Post on Elon Musks X From Its Official Accounts
 Platforms coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about DISHONESTY and security of its content, says Guardian
 
 The Guardian 14 NOV 2024
 
   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.
 We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X, the Guardian said.
 
 The Guardian has more than 80 accounts on X with approximately 27 million followers.
 
 The Guardian said content on the platform about which it had longstanding concerns included far-right conspiracy theories and racism. It added that the sites coverage of the US presidential election had crystallised its decision.
 This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism, it said.
 
 The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.
