More than 80 French NGOs and organisations have said they will stop using the social media platform X – formerly Twitter – as of 20 January, the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration. They consider the site's owner Elon Musk, a close Trump ally, a "danger" to freedom of expression and democratic values.
Eighty-seven groups advocating for human rights, press freedom and the environment expressed their concerns over the running of the platform in an open letter published by French newspaper Le Monde on 14 January.
