Elon Musk’s social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, issued a new warning Wednesday about the left-wing ratings company NewsGuard.
In a post on the site, X said it was the latest organization to be targeted by NewsGuard, which has systematically targeted conservative media.
“NewsGuard is about to publish a ‘report’ on misinformation on X. As a for-profit company, they will only share the data that underpins their purported research if you pay,” X explained.
X then highlighted NewsGuard’s strategy in going after the platform — the same strategy it has employed on dozens of other companies.
NewsGuard “uses these reports to pressure companies to buy their ‘fact-checking’ services. It’s a profit over any principle model,” X said.
“X has not seen any of the data in their report. Before publishing, we encourage all media outlets to request the data underpinning their claims.”
