> The only common thread is that they report in Elon Musk. They have nothing to do with the stalking incident

According to Reuters (not linked because paywall), Ella Irwin (Twitter's head of trust and safety) said all accounts that linked to ElonJet were reviewed. Most of the suspended accounts probably did that; I've seen screenshots of such links from a couple of them.

I don't know anything about LibsOfTikTok, but I took a quick look at their Twitter feed and didn't see any real-time location information. Perhaps you could point it out?

The Reuters article I found said this:

> It was unclear if all the journalists whose accounts were suspended had commented on or shared news about @elonjet.

Also, I have never encountered a paywalled Reuters article, and didn't know that could exist! Could you link it? Also no reason not to link to paywalled material, paywalls hit the top of the front page all the time at HN.

It seems to have been a malfunction; I went to the same link on a different computer and it worked fine. [1]

I have seen confirmation about several of the suspended accounts:

Aaron Rupar confirmed he posted a link to ElonJet's Facebook page [2]

Drew Harwell (of WaPo) confirmed "in the course of reporting about ElonJet we posted links to Elon Jet" [3]

The Verge says Mastodon tweeted a link to ElonJet [4]

Micah Lee confirmed he linked to both the Twitter and Mastodon accounts of ElonJet [5]
