Elon Musk is facing intense backlash for restricting Substack content on the platform, which led to Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi to dump Twitter.
Taibbi clarified to Fox News Digital he wasn't closing his account but that he's"going to have to find another medium." He also confirmed that he spoke with Musk directly about the Substack restrictions.When asked for comment via email, an auto-response from Twitter replied with the poop emoji.
"If writers and creators don’t own their relationships with their audiences, they’re not in control. Any platform that benefits from writers’ work but that doesn’t give them control over their relationships will inevitably wonder how to respond to the platforms that do," McKenzie wrote."While incumbents may take actions to stymie this shift, we’ll be working hard to ensure that writers and creators get only more ownership and control of their futures.
Musk previously faced intense backlash for suspending several journalists he accused of violating Twitter policies, a decision he later reversed.
