This decision was already presented at the idw General Assembly in 2026 and is in line with the approach taken by many scientific institutions and universities, which are also turning their backs on X. The reasons lie not only in technical changes, but also in the evolving culture of communication and the new challenges in dealing with disinformation and platform policies.
