The New York Times called the suspensions “questionable.” CNN said it would “reevaluate” its relationship with Twitter. The Washington Post demanded that Twitter reinstate the account of one of its technology reporters “immediately,” noting that he had simply reported accurately on Musk. One news start-up, Puck, said it would suspend its paid advertising campaign on Twitter, while another, Semafor, was evaluating its own marketing push, according to a spokesperson.
The Post could find no evidence that the reporters in question had shared information about Musk or his family’s location. “How [else] are they going to get the word out? Sadly, Twitter is still the only real game in town,” said Vivian Schiller, a former president of NPR who also served as Twitter’s head of news in 2014. “Don’t get me wrong, Musk is a thin-skinned erratic hypocrite, but he’s got us over a barrel,” she added, until another social media platform comes along to rival it.
Harwell got a message from Twitter early Saturday morning, offering to reactivate his account if he deleted the tweet that had apparently upset Musk, which noted Twitter had suspended the account of a competing social media platform called Mastodon. But even in conservative-leaning media, where Musk has been roundly praised for reinstating Trump and other right-wing accounts, the suspensions were not uniformly praised.
Maybe the FBI did it. How do you know?
TWP is hilarious
WaPo, do you ever shut up? You were part of the grand mal election interference being brought out for over a week and all you can do is create a continuous distraction. Shudduuuuupp. Illegal immigration, crime, Biden’s incompetence, the economy, homelessness need to heard.
The term is freedom of expression. Tell me you build a website displaying your journal and intellectual property and displaying and tying it all together through your relationships then why allow twitter to capitalize on that while you do not. And if you are capitalizing. Fired.
Are you seriously both sides ing outright censorship? Really? *taps your slogan* What do you think 'Democracy dies in darkness' MEANS exactly?! IT MEANS THIS YALL
Quack
Let them stay . Free Speech is a gladiatorial pit ; let them join us all . Now that the scales are even . Best man wins
Tweets the media company....HA!
Without the news media and expert tweets, Twitter is 100% useless. Its only value is as a news aggregation site. If the news media finds a new home, Twitter will suffocate and die. I'll be gone in a nanosecond.
The fact that those companies never left tells you the real power of Twitter and the absolute worthlessness of those papers and outlets that said they were leaving kind of like the Washington post
He should have banned the actual outlet. WaPo, for instance. It's about time we shut those lying liberals down. They're propagandists masquerading as a news outlet.
pewpew
What’s wrong…will free speech expose all the corruption!!!
the left is so forgiving they all must work for wapo
Glad to know that anytime our Constitutional Freedoms are a topic you call us conservatives allies of the people fighting for freedom that you hate the most. I wonder why your leftwing followers hate freedom so much. So did their slave owners.
The lack of self-reflection in this tweet is kind of astounding
Elon time to do a story on the smith mundit act and prove media propaganda liars and ban all fake news!
WPO just shut up
'The Realization Of 44 Billion Investment Coming Into Light'
Well it would have been nice to see this amount of outrage by the left when conservative journalists were suspended or banned. Or how about the normal citizens that were just trying to report on the problem they saw. What we got instead was Crickets.
Under old management the New York Post's entire account was locked because they posted a factually correct story of great public interest and you cheered because it benefitted your chosen political candidate. Don't pretend like you care about principle.
When Twitter 1.0 silenced 100's of thousands of voices, the media and the Left ignored it ... Now you care about Free Speech? 🤣🤣🤡 Hypocrites.
From the same WaPo that was silent when old Twitter banned the oldest daily newspaper in the US, the New York Post for factually reporting on the Hunter laptop....
Knob gobbler CEOs are scared of the Apartheidist manchild
After the liberal douchebags that used to control it abused the platform for the past decade, banning and censoring anything and everything they saw fit, I could not care less what Elon does or does not do. He could permanently ban the entire media and I would laugh.
The closure of the accounts of these journalists seems to have been for publishing the exact location of Elon Musk in real time, since it is a crime. And it seems perfect to me that they have been closed.
This is exactly a tweet by a media reporter reporting that it is tweeting on tweeter inspite of getting cold shoulder from Musk
We were big mad and we cried a lot, but bravely tweeted our way through it and are tweeting about it now.
How exactly is unblocking people, “hostile to free speech”? LMFAO 🤣 God I hope people don’t take seriously!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Poor babies Can't even stand a taste of their medicine for one second. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
is our not corrupt government's mouth piece. Says the King!
Outrage 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 just cant speak the truth. Corrupt leftist fake news outlet
No outrage by you when right leaning people were getting banned. Shows the hypocrisy of the loony left
RIPTwitter is now one month old. And yet so many journalists desperately want to still write to a “dying” platform.
