The Guardian newspaper has announced it will stop posting on X, formerly Twitter, describing the social media platform as “toxic”.

The news outlet wrote on its website on Wednesday that it had considered the decision for a while due to the “often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform”, but the US election earlier in November “underlined” its decision.
