Since the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk, content moderation has disappeared, and the algorithm highlights invective, reactionary comments and messages supporting Donald Trump. So many factors which pushed certain media to leave the platform. The French daily denounces a network that it considers toxic, generating violence, harassment and disinformation. The Guardian had, for his part, justified his departure by inconveniences considered too heavy to bear.
Faced with this situation, a question arises, both for the media and for ordinary users: should we leave communicate via a platform that has become a major information tool? In a hyperconnected world where social networks occupy an essential place in the cultural and informational fabric, is it even possible to do without them? Is there an alternative?
We talk about it in The Phone Rings with François-Xavier Lefrancchairman of the board of directors of West France ; Salome Saquéjournalist at Blast and author of Resist (Payot); And Fabrice Epelboinentrepreneur and teacher at Sciences Po, specialist in social networks.
