    Harm to X Users’ Well-Being
    The "For You" feed is one of the primary sources of information for X users. However, this feed is heavily biased toward toxic content.

    3 December 2024, by David Chavalarias

    By buying Twitter, Musk got his hands on the personal data and audience of 500M users. He makes no secret of his intentions to use X/Twitter to brainwash its users. Anything goes, and from January 20, there will be no law.

    21 December 2024, by David Chavalarias

    Favoristime, algorithms, X has actually already abandoned itself to the Far Right due to the cultural war waged by its boss, Elon Musk. Cornered media, moderate or progressive thought are now invisibilized.
    Elon Musk’s culture war
