Media. Dagens Nyheter has decided to stop publishing posts on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Editor-in-Chief Peter Wolodarski cites changes under Elon Musk’s leadership as the reason.

– Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his own and Donald Trump’s political ambitions, while the climate on X has become more harsh and extreme. Therefore, we will not be posting anything there from our official accounts at this time, he says.

DN is thus following in the footsteps of Aftonbladet, which left the platform already last year. At the same time, other Swedish media such as SvD and Dagens ETC choose to stay.

DN’s announcement came shortly after the British The Guardian announced that they were leaving X for similar reasons.
