Today, the Philippine Court of Tax Appeals acquitted Maria Ressa & her news outlet Rappler of four tax evasion charges, erasing 34 years off the potential century-long prison sentence that the 'pint-sized dictator slayer' faces in connection with a slew of State-prosecuted cases.

So, the battle goes on - but with a little more optimism today compared to yesterday #HoldTheLine

Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. And we're still suspended.

CNN's @donieosullivan, NYT's Ryan Mac and I can't access Twitter until we delete specific tweets that they said included "private information" but were actually just reporting.

Journalists Linette Lopez and Susan Li, who also covered Musk, are still suspended. No explanation given.

I have never seen anything so disgustingly, overtly misogynistic published in a newspaper anywhere.
More despicable even than the incitement to hatred spewing from Clarkson’s pen, is the fact that The Sun (Murdoch’s dominant tabloid in the UK) has published it. What editorial standards? What ethics?

Simultaneously, various Twitter accounts run by Mastodon servers have been suspended, while links to their content have been disabled on Twitter. Meanwhile, journalists, especially women, are still being attacked with impunity on Twitter in clear breach of Twitter’s policies on privacy and abuse.

The Musk social media autocracy appears to have jumped several sharks in a single policy manoeuvre (driven by self interest and anticompetitive tendencies). Highly credible journalists reporting on the topsy turvy world of Twitter have had their accounts permanently suspended for….well, we can only guess it’s something to do with covering Musk’s suspension of another account on the grounds it doxxed him https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/15/twitter-suspends-accounts-journalists-musk

Twitter suspends accounts of several journalists who had reported on Elon Musk

Many at CNN, Washington Post and the New York Times who had written critically of the new owner found their handles suspended
