The Barcelona-based La Vanguardia says Elon Musk’s platform has become a β€œdisinformation network”

Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia has announced that it will stop publishing on Elon Musk’s X and will suspend its accounts on the social media platform. In a statement on Thursday, the daily accused X of becoming a β€œnetwork for conspiracy theories and disinformation” while completely abandoning β€œeffective and reasonable moderation.”

Published since 1881, La Vanguardia is one of Spain’s oldest newspapers. While distributed mainly in Barcelona and Catalonia, it is one of Spain’s most widely read news outlets, and its main X account has a total of 1.3 million followers.

β€œSince Elon Musk’s arrival, X has been filled with toxic and disorienting content in an increasingly overwhelming way,” the news outlet said in a statement. It noted that under Musk’s management the platform has allowed β€œideas that violate human rights, such as hatred of ethnic minorities, misogyny and racism” to run free, all with the sole purpose of making more money.
