> While we don’t know what’s going on here yet, it’s possible that the suspensions are the result of automated content moderation gone awry. Some of the suspended accounts shared Mastodon and ElonJet’s Twitter handles as well as images of the tweet that appears to have gotten the former account suspended.

Automation gone crazy. I'm likely to believe this explanation rather than Musk personally hitting the "suspend" button on stuff he doesn't like.

Wouldn't be too sure about that:

> Same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else

The sudden spike of the use of the word "journalists" as a slur from the right is pretty wild to see in real time.

Unfortunately, many people who call themselves "journalists," and especially those who brag about it, deserve the ridicule. Journalism was more honest when it was a lower-status job.

(Ridiculousness does not justify censorship, of course! Elon's actions and hypocrisy are indefensible)
