The wave of bans from the muskjet thing has been quite dramatic.

It'll be interesting to see if the people who've been lauding musk for his supposedly pro free speech attitudes will reckon with what's been happening in actuality, or if they'll just accept this as "freedom for me but not for thee".

I agreed with most of what he's done up to the point where he banned ElonJet, and now these journalists. It's so dumb to ban an account that was simply sharing already public ADS-B data, it's completely legal, my guess is that he had a bunch of other rich friends that were calling for him to remove these accounts. As for journalists, I guess we'll need to wait, early guess is that Twitter has probably found some dirt involving them with old-Twitter board.

I think that ElonJet shouldn't have been banned and that Elon is behaving like a pathetic, petulant child, but if the recent bans bother you more than the fact that Twitter worked with the US security state to suppress a truthful and politically salient story (HB's laptop) in the run-up to an election, then you and I have very different priorities.
