French regional daily Ouest-France, the top-selling paper in the country, is the latest in a string of European publications to suspend posts on X, formerly Twitter. The social media platform is accused of enabling the spread of disinformation under its owner Elon Musk, an ally of US president-elect Donald Trump.

    Interesting, I think they legitimately don’t know what they’ll do instead:

    “Strictly speaking, there are no alternatives to what X offers today,” Vincent Berthier, head of the technology department at RSF (Reporters Without Borders) told AFP.

    “But we may need to invent them.”

    I imagine they’ll end up on Bluesky, possibly also on Mastodon?
