My colleague @taylorlorenz is suspended after seeking comment. I'm still blocked from using Twitter until I delete a tweet that's a piece of reporting.
Elon Musk tells me over email re: @taylorlorenz: "Apparently, Taylor doxxed someone on Twitter, for which there is a minimum one day suspension and her account will be reactivated shortly. That will be raised to seven days going forward." Doesn't provide further detail. Suspension happened shortly after she tweeted at him asking for comment on a story we're reporting for the Washington Post.
@drewharwell He's talking about LibsOfTikTok, isn't he?
@drewharwell @hughster
I think that’s it. Someone posted a meme of twitter screenshots without dates on Taylor’s thread here (obvious troll account, I’ve blocked) saying “pretty sure it was this”.
So the Savior is blocking people based on right wingers’ unverified accusations.
@timpalmer @drewharwell Taylor doesn't seem to have ever mentioned the ElonJet account that all the other suspended journalists did. The Twitter far right hate her for "doxing" anti-LGBT hate account LibsOfTikTok and have been pressuring Musk to punish her ever since he took over.
@drewharwell @hughster
Yup, that is no doubt his “reason.”
