Summary
Le Monde, one of France’s leading newspapers, announced its departure from Elon Musk’s platform X (formerly Twitter), citing concerns over increasing toxicity and political bias.
Editor-in-chief Jérôme Fenoglio criticized Musk’s alignment with Donald Trump and other tech leaders, which he claims threatens free access to reliable information.
Le Monde had already reduced its X activity but now sees the negatives of remaining outweighing the benefits.
The paper also expressed concern over platforms like TikTok and Meta due to recent political moves by their leaders.
A little late on that one guys.
Any government organizations outside the US needs to be called out on this shit now. After what happened yesterday there’s no ambiguity to a sane person.
