Sud Ouest’s Withdrawal from X: A Stand Against Disinformation
The French newspaper Sud Ouest has announced it will suspend sharing content on the social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, due to concerns over misinformation and the balance of public debate. Nicolas Sterckx, the group’s director general, emphasized the need for serious guarantees against disinformation. Sud Ouest joins other European media like Ouest-France and The Guardian in halting their activities on the platform until measures are in place to ensure responsible use.
