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

Can I ask you something? Why are you all so hell-bent on maintaining your presence on a site overtly hostile to both you and your profession?

@taylorlorenz

@aaron @drewharwell @taylorlorenz “may I ask why you, a war reporter, are spending time in a war zone?”

@mattbrown

please think about all the ways your comparison is specious at best and intellectually dishonest at worst

I don’t need to be verified and ON twitter to see what’s happening on twitter.

@drewharwell @taylorlorenz

@mattbrown @aaron @drewharwell @taylorlorenz probably not a great analogy, would be like trying to report on the war in Ukraine in Russian media. Space Karen can hold the threat of suspension over your head at any time, basically self censorship.

The twitter we knew is gone and is not coming back
