This is an announcement that will perhaps set a precedent in the weeks to come. For the first time in the history of the social network
French professional club announced its choice to withdraw from the platform. Red Star (Ligue 2) has published an official press release explaining the reasons for this strong decision.
In a critical era for a social network regularly singled out for its abuses (cyber-harassment, insults, messages of hatred or discrimination), a club with national notoriety has therefore taken the plunge. The Red Star thus denounces a “total deregularization of the platform, transforming X into an ecosystem dedicated to the proliferation of toxic content. »
X, a platform subject to all deviations
Another parameter mentioned by DAZN: the modification of obtaining certifications since the takeover by Elon Musk, while this label “formerly allowed a certain guarantee of the veracity of the information relayed. »
For Red Star,“platform now increasingly used to amplify hateful and polarizing speech, thus playing a key role in the manipulation of public opinion. »
The Ile-de-France club is not the only one in this approach. In the world of journalism, Ambre Godillon, victim of cyber-harassment after receiving a projectile during a covered match in Marseille with the broadcaster DAZN, also withdrew from withdrawal. Beyond our borders, the German clubs Werder Bremen and Sankt Pauli have also left a platform that is today decidedly subject to all sorts of abuses.
