Twitter suspended the accounts of several journalists, including ones from the New York Times and the Washington Post, with the site showing ‘account suspended’ notices for them
Responding to a Tweet on the account suspensions, Musk, who has portrayed himself as a free speech absolutist, tweeted: "Same doxxing rules apply to 'journalists' as to everyone else," a reference to Twitter rules banning the sharing of personal information, called doxxing., an account tracking his private jet in real time using data available in the public domain.
He had tweeted last month that his commitment to free speech extended "even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk". He later tweeted there would be a seven-day suspension for doxxing. Twitter also suspended the official account of Mastodon , which has emerged as an alternative to Twitter since Musk bought it for $44 billion in October. Mastodon could not immediately be reached for comment.
Twitter is operating with much-diminished staff as thousands have been fired since Musk took over. It is now leaning heavily onto moderate content, doing away with certain manual reviews and favoring restrictions on distribution rather than removing certain speech outright, its new head of trust and safety Ella Irwin told Reuters this month.
