> Update: Musk just weighed in on the suspensions, characterizing them as intentional. “Same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else,” he tweeted in a reply.

It seems like a good rule, but in this case the application of the rule seems less impersonal than it could be

Let’s try to make a comment that creates less outrage than most…

This is why it would be interesting to post public information about politicians collected from the online spyware that tracks all of us. It would rapidly motivate new laws that at least somewhat improve privacy.

This always happens when rule makers are personally affected by a problem: the problem starts getting attention

Did any of these journalists report his location?

Or did they report about the banning of someone who reported his location?

>>duxup+ar
They reported about the banning and that the ElonJet account has moved to Mastodon.

>>t0mas8+tS
@joinmastodon got banned for that too

>>ilyt+FS
Additionally all links to anything in mastodon (may be server specific) are also being blocked. Mastadon users are reporting this morning that they aren't able to post links to their Mastadon accounts with error messages that Twitter has identified the site as harmful.

>>fluidc+Q21
Banning all links to Mastodon? That's just censoring the competition. Lots of people have been leaving Twitter for Mastodon, so silencing that might be a welcome side effect of widely overshooting his elonjet ban.

Funnily this is what Freenode was doing for Libera mentions.
