They've given themselves 30 days to reinstate journo's accounts, I think.

@w7voa You and your colleagues should deactivate your Twitter accounts.

Why should the public trust reporting tailored to the whims of a flakey, fash-friendly sociopath?

Your readers deserve better.

Democracy needs more from you right now.

I think any journalist who operates in an environment where they concede that they could be banned at any moment is succumbing to a form of voluntary censorship. I experienced this in South Africa, as others did I am sure and remember the idea of 'banning'.

Having experienced this I assure you it's not the mark of a 'free speech' environment.

You can read about it here. https://www.britannica.com/topic/banning-South-African-law

Banning | History, Laws & Impact | Britannica

Banning, in South Africa, an administrative action by which publications, organizations, or assemblies could be outlawed and suppressed and individual persons could be placed under severe restrictions of their freedom of travel, association, and speech. Banning was an important tool in the South

@RobHadley @w7voa Agreed. I will be really disappointed if the journalists now unbanned after the #JournalismPurge now go back on the #BirdSite like everything is fine.
