Ouest-France Halts Posts on Elon Musk's X Over Content Concerns

The French daily joins other European publications in leaving the platform due to issues with moderation and misinformation.

Ouest-France, France's top-selling regional daily, has stopped publishing on X, formerly Twitter, citing concerns over misinformation and harassment.
The decision follows similar moves by The Guardian, La Vanguardia, and Dagens Nyheter, highlighting a broader media withdrawal from the platform.
The newspaper criticizes X for inadequate content moderation and claims the platform contributes to the 'poisoning of public debate.'
Elon Musk's management style and recent changes, such as the devaluation of verification badges, have been key factors in the decision.
Ouest-France will not return to X unless significant regulatory improvements are made, reinforcing its commitment to democratic values and journalistic integrity.
