Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

@karelbrits @DarkoV @taylorlorenz easier said than done for journalists when modern journalism has relied on twitter for so long

@natty @DarkoV @taylorlorenz I don't believe there's much to gather anymore if you rely on Twitter for journalism today. Journalists need to be able to work independent and report objectively. When you get dependent of the mood swings of the owner of a social media platform to be able to do your job, it's time to move out from that platform and look for other ways to spread your message or gather information. Times have changed. Drastically.

@karelbrits @natty @DarkoV @taylorlorenz Reporting based on what went viral on Twitter never was objective in the first place. We should actually be grateful to Musk for opening people's eyes (a little, maybe, probably very temporarily).

@bart @karelbrits @natty @DarkoV @taylorlorenz you think Taylor only reported "things that went viral on Twitter"? She's done a lot of other work.

@red0ran @karelbrits @natty @DarkoV @taylorlorenz No I don't think that.
