Germany’s Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency said it would close its account on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
BERLIN — Germany’s Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency said it would close its account on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, because of increasing intolerance of minorities expressed by users on the site, and urged other bodies to follow suit. The rapid spread of misleading claims and doctored images in the aftermath of a deadly rampage by Hamas gunmen in Israel over the weekend has put renewed focus on Elon Musk’s platform, which most recently drew the ire of the European Union.
German government officials have so far resisted calls to quit X, saying there was no substitute channel at present through which leaders like Chancellor Olaf Scholz are able to reach a broad swathe of the public online. X officials couldn’t be immediately reached for comment on the Germany agency’s decision.
