EFF leaves X citing declining engagement

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has announced its departure from the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, after nearly two decades. The digital rights group cited a dramatic decrease in post engagement and traffic referrals, noting that its posts now receive less than 3% of the views they did seven years ago. This decision follows a trend of other organizations, including news publishers like NPR and PBS, leaving X due to concerns over declining reach and platform policies. The EFF will continue its online presence on other platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
