After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/eff-leaving-x

Twitter was never a utopia. We've criticized the platform for about as long as it's been around. Still, Twitter did deserve recognition from time to time for vociferously fighting for its users' rights. That changed. (2/5)

EFF exists to protect people's digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse. The people who need us most are often the ones most embedded in the walled gardens of the mainstream platforms. (3/5)

Our continued presence on other platforms like Facebook and TikTok is not an endorsement. We stay because the people there deserve access to info, too. We stay because the fewer steps between you and the resources you need to protect yourself, the better. (4/5)

When you go online, your rights should go with you. X is no longer where the fight is happening. Our work protecting digital rights is needed more than ever before, and we’re here to help you take back control. https://eff.org/donate (5/5)

@eff now lobby local and state governments to do the same.When I get an amber or silver alert from my police department on my phone I shouldn't get a pop up that covers the information as soon as the page loads. I shouldn't need an x.com account to read the information in the comments.

@eff Good, and I see your point. But l would also suggest that, while you're still on such platforms, you also heavily promote "follow us on Mastodon". Every little bit helps.

@eff I only had X for corporate contacts when everything else failed to contact companies for things and I decided to delete it the moment Donald Trump got endorsed and elected by Elon. Besides, Twitter has been shit in its last years and just got absolutely the worst when Elon took over. Nothing of worth was lost. I switched to Mastodon and never looked back. I just skipped BlueSky because it's the same shit as Twitter was.

@eff Your message is ambiguous. You say that the fight for users' digital rights is no longer happening on #TwitterX, but you don't elaborate. Why isn't the fight there? Is TwitterX finally a safe place or is it too far gone to be saved? I suspect the latter, but I hope you'd be more specific in your post.

@eff may i suggest that anything you post on nepo-fascist David Ellison's platform TikTok, you also post to #Loops we should be growing & starting the migration to better platforms (better socially, at least. where are the good💙angel investors?)

@eff Beating tyrants works best using their own weapons : reinventing the past with sweet #narratives. This is what happened with crypto after #Bitcoin's inventor Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared from public communication space in December 2010. It was redefined and highjacked for any kind of scam. I recently closed my X account and start again here because viral campaigns are harder to control on a decentralized open source platform. Stay with facts but don't get too close to opinion mainstream.

@eff so what changed your minds?It wasn’t when Elon bought and made deadnaming people allowed, which is when a lot of us left. It wasn’t the Salute, or the promotion of far right candidates around the world.It wasn’t the dog whistle myths like white genocide in South Africa.It wasn’t the AI sexual harassment, or CSAM.So what WAS the final straw?Oh! You weren’t getting enough traffic. Such a commendable moral stand.

@eff lol, imagine trying to actually educate Facebook and Tiktok users instead of radicalising them or making them addicted to dog s**t content, that's simply not what those platforms are designed for 😋Not to say that the entire fediverse is an ideal place either.
