Wouldn't be too sure about that:

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

If the algorithm is suspending accounts that shared screenshots Elon doesn't like (matching via checksum) then it's banning regardless if the account belongs to a journalist or not.

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

>>input_+(OP)
Those quotes around the word journalists are carrying a lot of weight.

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)

Is it really that much of a spike though? There's always been a bias against "liberal media elite" from conservatives for at least a decade now. It's increased, sure, but I don't think by that much.

Which is bad, because the supposed policy has a specific media exemption.

Interestingly it also explicitly says that you won't get permanently suspended unless your account is dedicated to live updates, or you do it again after being locked out and deleting the content.

Damn, couldn't even follow his own policy for 24 hours since the accounts seemed to have been banned with no warning.

> Sharing private or live location information:

> The first time you violate this policy by sharing private information (such as home address, identity documents etc.), we will require you to remove this content. We will also temporarily lock you out of your account before you can Tweet again. If you violate this policy by posting private information again after your first warning, your account will be permanently suspended.

> If your account is dedicated to sharing someone’s live location, your account will be automatically suspended.
