The FC St. Pauli, a German football club, has announced its decision to leave the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), citing concerns about its transformation under Elon Musk’s ownership into a platform that fosters hate speech and promotes misinformation. The club argues that X has become a breeding ground for racism, conspiracy theories, and harassment, which they believe undermines their values and the public discourse. They will instead focus their social media presence on BlueSky, an alternative platform aiming to promote open and ethical communication.
