Who is Taylor Lorenz and why should we care?

She's a technology columnist for the Washington Post, suspended this evening from Twitter apparently for asking Musk to comment on a story involving Musk. Musk is demonstrating that he can extort censorship from the media with the ban hammer. Taylor was targeted to be an example. Other journalists are put on notice it's not them...this time, and reminded to toe the line. This is about press freedom. That's why we all should care.

@mastodonmigration The obvious thing for journalists to do is set up accounts in other platforms like Mastodon. Every time we don’t use Twitter, we marginalize it beyond what Musk does by himself. At some point, it won’t matter anymore. (It matters a lot less now than it did a year ago.)
