Musk's suspension of tech journalists from Twitter is, on balance, the best thing that can happen right now. Not because it's a good idea, but because it's such a transcendentally stupid move.

It highlights the vile and capricious way the new CEO and part-owner has operated.

It highlights his contempt for freedom of expression, which he claims to revere.

And it will lead to an even more rapid exodus of people who want civility and usefulness online.

@dangillmor Unfortunately, the campaign that is being run on Twitter right now is another axe blow in the direction of dividing society, and the mass of people are still on the "other side" and may not even notice how they are being influenced right now.
