The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) permanently deleted its account on X (formerly Twitter) on December 4, 2025, citing the platform's increasing hostility and misalignment with their values[^1].

The FSFE explained that while they initially used Twitter to promote free software values and connect with policymakers and journalists, the platform had become "a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control"[^1]. They specifically criticized X's algorithm for prioritizing "hatred, polarisation, and sensationalism"[^1].

While leaving X, the FSFE continues to maintain some presence on other proprietary platforms to reach wider audiences, but strongly encourages supporters to follow them on decentralized alternatives in the Fediverse, specifically their Mastodon and Peertube accounts[^1].

The IDF is moving to curb sensitive military information leaking onto social media by rolling out a new monitoring system called ‘Morpheus.’ The AI-based tool, developed inside the military, will soon track photos and other content posted by IDF soldiers on civilian social media platforms, according to a report Wednesday.

The decision to develop ‘Morpheus’ followed repeated leaks of classified or sensitive material posted by soldiers in recent years, in text, images and videos.
