"We’ve confirmed that Irwin has access to user DMs as part of her position. Given the way the company has handled the Twitter Files, multiple former employees told us that DMs are no longer secure, and have discouraged us from using them for any remotely sensitive communication."

Ella Irwin also explicitly directed Twitter to ban journalists like me. The fact that she has used her access to people's private messages should be a wake-up call to everyone on Twitter, especially journalists; how can you protect sources in a place like that?

@drewharwell I find it very remarkable that you are still (it seems) banned from Twitter, yet the site presents your profile as live with no indication you’ve been banned.
And this still affects other reporters too, e.g Steve Hernan.
And no one is reporting on it! And all the other journalists just keep using Twitter!! Bonkers.

That last part is what I find perplexing.
