Cambridge cited rising concerns about the platform’s reliability, accountability, and direction for its decision.
“This decision follows ongoing concerns about the platform’s viability as a trusted space for public communication as content found and promoted on X, includes racism and misinformation,” read a statement from the City of Cambridge. “The City feels X no longer aligns with the values of inclusivity, respect, integrity, service and responsible communication.”
As of Monday afternoon, the City of Cambridge deleted its X account.
