Elon Musk is Still Silencing the Journalists he Banned from Twitter.
It looks like our accounts have been reinstated, but it's an illusion: We're actually locked out and can't post anything without deleting specific tweets the billionaire doesn't like.

Big Journalism mustered a few pathetic protests to Musk's control freakery with reporters' accounts, but maintained business as usual on the birdsite.
In other words, Musk is winning his campaign against freedom of expression that he dislikes.
You'd imagine that the journalism business would take genuine action -- eg leaving Twitter -- to demonstrate a backbone, and help preserve press freedom. You would be wrong, sadly.
