The Deutsche Bundesbank has announced it is leaving X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

In a posting today (January 17), Germany’s central bank said its account would exist “only as an archived account”, but that it would remain active on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

“We have decided to discontinue our activities on X, on which the standards for discussion have become increasingly unacceptable,” a Bundesbank spokesperson tells Central Banking.
