- Twitter boss Elon Musk dropped the hammer on numerous prominent media critics, banning them from the platform Thursday night.
- Among those banned: Ryan Mac of the New York Times, Drew Harwell of The Washington Post, Donie O’Sullivan of CNN, Matt Binder of Mashable, Michah lee of The Intercept, along with Aaron Rupar, Tony Webster, and Keith Olbermann.
- The journalists apparently were banned for posting links to Mastadon – a platform similar to Twitter – where @ElonJet migrated after the banning yesterday. Mastadon’s Twitter account was also suspended Thursday. Musk appeared to confirm that in a tweet Thursday night, writing, “Same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else.”
