The club FC St. Pauli, promoted to the Bundesliga, announced its withdrawal from the social network X (Twitter) which it considers “an amplifier of hatred”.
The current 16th in the German championship made headlines this Thursday by announcing his withdrawal from X. The Hamburg city club published a final post including a link redirecting to the club’s official press release.
« Since taking control of Twitter, as the platform was previously called, Musk has turned X into a hate machine. Racism and conspiracy theories can spread unchecked, and even in an organized manner. Insults and threats are rarely punished and are sold as a form of freedom of expression. “. explains FC St. Pauli, which fears extremist content in the run-up to the next elections in Germany. “ We have nothing more to do here ».
The club’s account had nearly 250,000 followers on its German account, all invited to switch to the BlueSky social network.
