Major British newspaper The Guardian says it will no longer post any official editorial accounts on the social media platform X.

The daily, known for its liberal tone, made the announcement on its website on Wednesday.

It cited "the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism."

It added, "The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse."

The paper said its reporters will be able to continue using the website for news-gathering purposes.

Musk posted on X, calling The Guardian "a laboriously vile propaganda machine."

The neutrality of the social media platform has repeatedly been called into question.

Brazil's supreme court temporarily ordered that X's service be stopped because of its failure to regulate accounts spreading false information.

In Britain, regional police and education institutions have announced since July that they would review or halt their use of the platform after false information posted on X fueled anti-immigrant sentiment, triggering widespread rioting.
