More Media Abandon X


Article in Common Dreams by Olivia Rosane, 11/15/24

Headline:  “Major Media Reform Group Says Goodbye to Musk’s ‘Toxic Twitter'”

Subhead:  “It’s clear that X will not correct course under Musk’s leadership, and it’s time for Free Press to exit.”

“Media watchdog Free Press announced on Thursday that it would leave the social media platform formerly known as Twitter over concerns about owner Elon Musk’s platforming of hateful speech, fostering an increase of disinformation, and his intensifying harassment of critics

“In doing so, the advocacy group joined the more than 100,000 U.S. users who have abandoned Musk’s X following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election last week. Musk aggressively used the site to boost Trump and his campaign, promoting him with tweets worth $24 million and spreading disinformation about the Democratic Party and the integrity of U.S. voting infrastructure.”
