The German Dance Association is shutting down its channel on X (formerly Twitter).
Since the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk, the content disseminated there has hardly been moderated and previously banned right-wing extremists, racists and sexists have been allowed back in under the guise of freedom of expression.
In addition, the algorithms have apparently been designed in such a way that predominantly right-wing to right-wing extremist content is spread virally, as a data analysis by the Washington Post has shown.
As a result, disinformation, conspiracy theories and aggressive, misanthropic right-wing propaganda are increasingly being spread on the platform, which has been renamed X, and is no longer a place for fair debate.
The German Dance Association no longer wishes to communicate its concerns in this environment of hate, incitement and aggressive polemics and is therefore shutting down its X channel at the end of January.
