Université Paris-Saclay ceases activity on the social media platform X
19/12/2024
Université Paris-Saclay, in concertation with its academic community, has decided to cease its activity on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. This decision will be put into place on Thursday 19 December 2024 by the university’s five faculties, three university technical institutes (IUTs), its engineering school (Polytech Paris-Saclay), four grandes écoles (AgroParisTech, CentraleSupélec, ENS Paris-Saclay and IOGS), and the associate member institution, Université Évry Paris-Saclay.
It comes following changes to the platform’s content policy, which is no longer in compliance with the European Union’s Code of Practice on Disinformation, making the platform incompatible with the universal values that the university and its community share.
