Uk newspaper The Guardian has announced it will no longer post on Twitter/X due to the website's toxicity since Elon Musk took over. They said the negatives outweigh the positives and cite "disturbing content" and the way the site handled the election as its final 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,” the publication said. “The U.S. 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.”

Muskrat responded "They are a laboriously vile propaganda machine.” 🙄

In other news, Bette Midler and Jamie Lee Curtis have deleted their twitters.
