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.
This latest article embeds a Mastodon post and links to posts by @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa and @tony

Oh. my. god.
Madison Square Garden used facial recognition to identify and stop a mom from attending a Christmas show with her kid because she's an attorney at a firm who is engaged in litigation with them.
This is why it's not enough to just ban government and law enforcement use of #facialrecognition. There are so many ways private companies and even individuals can abuse #biometric #surveillance tech.
#BanFacialRecognition entirely. Yesterday.
Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits
Are there any good #Muslim instances on #mastodon?
I have a friend who has experienced so much racism and surveillance that she's wary of using social media at all. I was thinking that a server run by and for Muslims like herself might be a safer place to plug in.
Please share suggestions or RT if your followers might know. Thanks!
Two U.S. men have been charged with hacking into the #Ring home security cameras of a dozen random people and then "#swatting" them -- falsely reporting a violent incident at the target's address to trick local police into responding with force. Prosecutors say the duo used the compromised Ring devices to stream live video footage on social media of police raiding their targets' homes, and to taunt authorities when they arrived.
Prosecutors in Los Angeles allege 20-year-old James Thomas Andrew McCarty, a.k.a. “#Aspertaine,” of Charlotte, N.C., and Kya Christian Nelson, a.k.a. “#ChumLul,” 22, of Racine, Wisc., conspired to hack into Yahoo email accounts belonging to victims in the United States. From there, the two allegedly would check how many of those Yahoo accounts were associated with Ring accounts, and then target people who used the same password for both accounts.

ALL 5 cars rented by Biden’s Secret Service erupted in flames
Secret Service got into a one-car car crash with VP Harris
They failed to warn Pelosi about threats against her life
They deleted Jan 6 texts despite Congressional warnings
Secret Service can no longer be trusted
