Twitter suspended the accounts of roughly half a dozen journalists Thursday evening, some who have been covering the social-media platform and its new owner Elon Musk.
The accounts of Ryan Mac of the New York Times, Donie O’Sullivan of CNN, Drew Harwell of the Washington Post, Matt Binder of Mashable, Micah Lee of the Intercept as well as independent journalists Aaron Rupar, Keith Olbermann and Tony Webster had all been permanently suspended. The sudden suspension comes a day after Musk banned an account that automatically tracked the flights of his private jet using data available to the public.
Several of the reporters suspended Thursday night had been writing about that new policy and Musk’s rationale for imposing it, which involved his allegations about a stalking incident that affected his family on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.“Doxxing” is when a person discloses someone else’s personal details online such as identity, address or phone number.
