A coalition of advocacy groups in North Carolina has announced their departure from X, citing the platform's increasing facilitation of misinformation, hate speech, and extremist content. They criticize Elon Musk's leadership for enabling this environment and express concern over the inability or unwillingness to moderate harmful content effectively. The groups also highlight Meta's recent removal of independent fact-checkers as a further setback in combating disinformation. They remain committed to promoting truth and democratic values through alternative platforms while monitoring federal changes related to misinformation.
In good conscience, we cannot remain on a platform where harmful behavior is tolerated... this decision aligns with our values of safety and accountability.
X has become a space where disinformation and extremist content are allowed to flourish with minimal moderation, exacerbated under Elon Musk's leadership.
