French regional daily Ouest-France, the top-selling paper in the country, is the latest in a string of European publications to suspend posts on X, formerly Twitter. The social media platform is accused of enabling the spread of disinformation under its owner Elon Musk, an ally of US president-elect Donald Trump.

We'll see how profitable it really was in the long run, but short term profits seem to blind most corporations which is practically and fiscally foolish.

They obviously still get the clicks to justify the cost of advertising or they wouldn't do it. If one of them fails in a decade, no one is going to look back and say it was because they didn't leave Twitter when Elmo bought it...
