Austrian Airlines announced it would stop posting on X (formerly called Twitter), blaming the "increasing spread of hate

And so it goes.

“Austrian Airlines is leaving the platform X, as an increasing spread of hate, agitation, and disinformation is perceptible and this is not compatible with our values. Austrian Airlines is pleased to continue to keep its communities up to date on the social media platforms Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn and to offer passengers a corresponding service.”

And isn't it ironic that there is no move to shut down X in this country, but they are trying to shut down TikTok. Yet Austrian Airlines will continue to use TikTok.

Disney, Comcast, Lionsgate Entertainment, Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix have all returned to X.
