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.

Pathetic that this is the first. Get your shit together French news outlets.
It’s insane that so many places chose and are still choosing to stay and keep court at this place.
I can’t believe these giant companies put profit over morals. It just doesn’t make sense!
Took em long enough
X the everything (except the guardian, ouest-france etc.) app
Wait, all others still do?

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?
