Without warning or explanation, Musk has suspended @[email protected] journalist Taylor Lorenz.
Lorenz did not link to accounts tracking private jets or publish Musk’s location
She reached out for comment for a story
https://taylorlorenz.substack.com/p/elon-musk-banned-me-from-twitter
On Post, journalist @[email protected] journalist Matt Binder says he is again locked out of his Twitter account for refusing to delete a tweet noting Musk’s hypocrisy
(Whatever the link was in that tweet has also been removed by Twitter)
UPDATE: Musk admits he's making up the rules as he goes.
He decided to "temporarily suspend" Lorenz because of unspecified "doxxing action" sometime in the past.
This is an unhinged attacked on press freedom.
@juddlegum
Why are you - or any journalists - still playing Musk’s game?
Ring the damn alarm bells and help get everyone out!
You audience will follow. Just tel them where. #TwitterMigration
“Musk: new doxxing rules on twitter going forward right wing influencer: what about Lorenz who doxxed me in the past not on twitter? Musk: won't tolerate it going forward Lorenz: I have a question Musk: Actually, applying the policy retroactively and extending to beyond twitter”

The way I look at is like this:
This ISN'T the spoiled kid saying I'll take my ball and go home if you don't play my way.
It's the spoiled kid BUYING the entire baseball field in the name of baseball purity, then changing the rules for his benefit.
Guess what? The field doesn't make the game. The players do.
Lots of fields out there.
Find a new field guys.
I'm changing where I watch.
@juddlegum I wish people would stop describing this stuff as "unhinged", like it's "crazy" or irrational. This is an exercise of power. Demonstrating that he is not bound by the rules that apply to you - standards, logic, human decency, some sort of fundamental moral consistency, anything at all - isn't a mistake. It's the whole point of this exercise. To show that you are constrained, and he is not.
Hypocrisy is the virtue-signaling of fascism.
@juddlegum
It’s like Musk is daring each journalist to leave - and watching them all back down.
Why are you all not collectively leaving the site and encouraging others to move to a safer platform?

Is there going to be any dinosaurs on this dinosaur tour?

So, here's what I think needs to happen re: doxxing.
At Midnight, Xmas eve, starting at the International Dateline, ppl need to start giving detailed coordinates of where Santa is as he travels around the globe. What would he do if thousands and thousands of ppl were #doxxing Santa? Isn't that dangerous to him if ppl know where he is????
What a douchbag #Musk is. Don't know how you stomach reporting on him, but I'm glad we have ppl like you who do.
