French regional daily Ouest-France, the top-selling paper in the country, is the latest in a string of European publications to suspend posts on X, formerly Twitter. The social media platform is accused of enabling the spread of disinformation under its owner Elon Musk, an ally of US president-elect Donald Trump.

Honestly, for big orgs like that I feel like a federating their website just makes sense to me.

That way they can host the content (resilience to censor ship) and can still natively share it.

And honestly, it may really help Mastodon out if people join it specifically to get at the content here.
