Twitter’s unprecedented suspension of at least five journalists over claims they revealed the real-time location of owner Elon Musk drew swift backlash from government officials, advocacy groups and journalism organizations across the globe on Friday.

Roland Lescure, the French Minister of Industry, tweeted on Friday that following Musk’s suspension of journalists, he would suspend his own activity on Twitter. The suspensions stemmed from a disagreement over a Twitter account called ElonJet, which tracked Musk’s private plane using publicly available information.

Then on Thursday evening, several journalists including from the New York Times, CNN and the Washington Post were suspended from Twitter with no notice. The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing said in a statement on Friday that Twitter’s actions “violate the spirit of the First Amendment and the principle that social media platforms will allow the unfiltered distribution of information that is already in the public square.”

Elon Musk for the win

Well done elonmusk

but the journalist is encroaching on Musk FREEDOM and safety.. .. what nonsense is this

He emust allow them to reveal his real-time location but he must also be allowed to post their real-time location, I want to see somthing.

Of course he did. Doxxing realtime locations, or conspiracy to do so, is a clear and present danger as well as contravention of the TOS. They aren't special just because they're 'journalists'.

And .. get your story right, first!

Well Done to elonmusk .. keep ‘em coming!!! 🍿🍿🍿
