European Federation of Journalists to Stop Posting Content on X

I'll most likely be leaving it soon too. It's nothing but porn, right wing hate and misinformation and stupidity.

There's no value to remaining on the platform anymore as most of the accounts I thought worth following have shut down and moved on.

No real journalist should be contributing content on Twitter. No legitimate future journalist should contribute to any publication owned by a billionaire because the economic interests of such rich people are so large that everything they report could effect their botton line. They are affected bu so many issues; ecology, global warming, technology, war, space exploration, everything has an effect on their profits so how can we trust their opinions on anything when every opinion they allow to have a voice is evaluated by lawyers, accountants and whatever other professionals thay employ to evaluate every thought expressed in terms of its affect on the billionaire's interests? It is much like when a President of the United States speaks; every word will be examined by many people to glean any nuance of his/her (her haha!) probable policy decisions. Billionaires are scrutinized nearly as muchas Presidents.

I abandoned -------- for Blusky. The final straw was the change in terms whereas -------- reserves the right to scrape posts through AI.

No thanks.

Not that I am concerned about my low viewed posts, but rather it will lead to fake posts pushing a right wing agenda.

Throw in muskhole doxxing federal employees on --------.

And the change in the programming where after a page of people I am following suddenly I am bombarded by posts from right wing -------- that I had previously blocked.

No thanks.

---- off elmo.
