Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) have recently developed and launched a social data migration tool called HelloQuitteX, and are calling on netizens to stop using X (formerly Twitter) to migrate their account data to X's competitor social platforms such as Bluesky or Mastodon before Trump takes office as the President of the United States on January 20th.

In its first week, more than 5,000 individuals and organizations have signed up to use the service, which has been visited more than 10 million times. At present, the X accounts of the Paris city government and related groups have successively announced that they will be transferred from X to other social platforms.

According to reports, the French-developed social application migration platform "HelloQuitteX" is pronounced similar to "Hello Kitty" in French, so its logo design depicts a cartoon cat image similar to Kitty.

CNRS said in a statement that after X platform's owner, entrepreneur Elon Musk, acquired and reformed Twitter, the platform "undermined the dissemination of facts and objective information" and " Hate speech and disinformation are fueled, and a lack of regulation becomes a problem."

In addition, more than 60 universities and research institutions in other European countries, such as Germany and Austria, also announced last week that they would suspend the use of X because it is "incompatible with the basic values ​​of fair scientific discussion."
