Propaganda platforms taking resounding humiliation badly...
its interesting. Own the media, own the world... its quite interesting that one of the powers of the rulers of the world of darkness is being decimated. Propaganda of the far-left is a danger to the world, and we need to really wake up with stronger counternarratives. Thank God for Elon

But they were using X when Far Left Democrats were in power.

We all know they support LGBTQ+ and Democrat Party ideas and can't stand social media run with Republican Ideologies, else they'll covertly be aiding Republican Party to win election in 2028.

Good thing is the internal election is dependent on American votes and they still hold significant presence on X.

So where are they going to? Old Facebook ?

IPOB is a secessionist group fighting to leave your uselessly run country because of injustice, and I'm happy they recognise the need to fight against such injustice.

Islamic terrorists/jihadists are a group of devilish people massacring innocent humans and destroying property due to their warped religious ideologies that preach hate and intolerance.
I'm sure that, despite you being their member, you're not proud of such a people grin

DUMB AND DUMBER.

Even if the neo-nazi right-wing white supremacists that have infested X led by their leader Elon Musk, spit in your face and call you a n+++r, you will smile and say ''Yes sir. Thank you sir. Of course you are not racist sir. Should I you suck you as well sir?''

DISGUSTING SLAVE.
Have you forgotten you are defending the UK that sold your ancestors as slaves, colonized you but still require you pass an English test to enter their country?

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY THE DISGUSTING SLAVE HERE.

The DEMONcrats are guilty of everything they accuse the Republicans of. They accused the Republicans of being salty after the 2020 election, yet here they are doing even worse.


One thing they should know is that their threats and rants have no power anymore. Last year, they threatened to leave Twitter to go to Threads, yet they ran back with their two left legs to the same Twitter they threatened to leave. Shameless people. Legacy media is dead; Cancel culture is next.


I'm loving their tears. As e dey sweet us, e dey pain dem grin

It's that toxic character that make people to keep electing funny characters in elective positions just to pepper eye the next person.
And also they are companions in politics of exclusion, bigotry and nepotism.
With these kind of mindset, I doubt if we will catch up with those our mates in Asia.
A situation were political thugs are well respected.
your mates in Asia. You mean the dictators

That's true. X is extremely toxic and needs stringent regulations like Facebook. If not, terrorists, racists and ethic jingoists will be using that platform to further their agenda and the Congress will be compelled to turn their attention to it and clean it up the harsh way.
you either want free speech or you want violence. Choose wisely

British News Publisher Guardian Quits Elon Musk’s X, Says Social Media Platform Is Racist, Toxic

The Guardian has announced its decision not to publish posts on X.

In its statement, the Guardian cited the presence of offensive content on the platform, such as racist and conspiracy-driven materials.

With a following of 10.7 million on X, the Guardian becomes the first prominent media organization in the United Kingdom to opt out of X.

Critics argue that Elon Musk, the owner of X, fails to address the issue of harmful content on his platform.

In a report published on Wednesday titled: "Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X," the outlet clarified that while they will stop posting from its official editorial accounts on the platform, however, X users can still share their articles.

The report partly read: "We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere.

"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 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.

"X users will still be able to share our articles, and the nature of live news reporting means we will still occasionally embed content from X within our article pages.

"Our reporters will also be able to carry on using the site for news-gathering purposes, just as they use other social networks in which we do not officially engage."

The newspaper further explained that social media can be an important tool for news organisations that will help to reach new audiences but, maintained that "at this point, X now plays a diminished role in promoting our work. Our journalism is available and open to all on our website and we would prefer people to come to theguardian.com and support our work there.

"Thankfully, we can do this because our business model does not rely on viral content tailored to the whims of the social media giants’ algorithms – instead we’re funded directly by our readers," the Guardian said in an editorial published on its website.

Elon Musk, who lent his support to Donald Trump ahead of the latter's electoral victory in the United States this month, has stated that he is standing up for the freedom of speech.

On Tuesday, Trump appointed Musk to a position aimed at enhancing the efficiency of government operations.

The roles of X and other platforms have come under scrutiny in the United Kingdom this year following a surge in far-right and racially motivated violence, which erupted after online posts disseminated false claims that an incident in Southport, a town in northern England, where three young girls lost their lives, was perpetrated by an Islamist immigrant.

According to reports by Reuters, British law enforcement agencies have ceased posting on X, and several others are reviewing their involvement.

In recent months, several British charities, including those focused on health and education, have announced their decision to discontinue their presence on X.

Despite these developments, the British government continues to engage with X, although it refrains from using it for paid communication. However, as reported by Reuters last month, the government does engage in advertising on Meta's platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.

Critics argue that Elon Musk, the owner of X, fails to address the issue of harmful content on his platform.
One of the negatives with the use of X since Elon bought it and took over is the renewed wave of toxicity and misinformation on that social. media platform.
