The European Federation of Journalists, EFJ, says starting January 20, it will discontinue posting content on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform X.

In a statement on its website, EFJ says it can no longer ethically participate in a social network whose owner peddles disinformation and propaganda.

The move is set to take effect on January 20, 2025, the same day Donald J. Trump is to be sworn into office as the 47th President of the United States.

EFJ says X’s editorial evolution since its acquisition by Musk, contradicts its humanist values, commitment to press freedom and media pluralism, and the fight against hatred and discrimination.

It says the platform has instead become the preferred vector for conspiracy theories, racism, far-right ideas and misogynistic rhetoric.
