News outlets have begun quitting X, formerly Twitter, once a favourite of global media but now accused of enabling the spread of disinformation under its owner, president-elect Donald Trump ally Elon Musk. Citing a "harsh and extreme" climate, Sweden's newspaper of reference, the left-liberal Dagens Nyheter (DN), on Friday became third major media outlet to stop publishing its articles on the social media platform. "Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his and Donald Trump's political ambitions," said editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski. "I would expect more publishers to part ways with X," said Stephen Barnard, a specialist on media manipulation at Butler University in the US. "How many do so will likely depend on what actions X, Musk, and the Trump administration take with regard to media and journalism," he said.
