How about this? https://newrepublic.com/post/177936/twitter-suspends-accounts-journalists-critical-elon-musk https://newrepublic.com/post/177936/twitter-suspends-account... "This is at least the fifth time that X, under Musk, has purged accounts that are the slightest bit critical of him, his friends, or causes he supports"

Ok yeah, that's pretty bad indeed.

That article says the suspensions lasted only a few hours. In no way were they "purged", and the first three named accounts all are highly active. MintPress News journalist: https://twitter.com/alanrmacleod https://twitter.com/alanrmacleod (active, posted in the last hour) Intercept journalist: https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein (active, posted 46 minutes ago) Texas Observer journalist: https://x.com/stevanzetti https://x.com/stevanzetti (active, posted 2 hours ago) If these are the best examples of Musk engaging in censorship then he must be doing a very fair job indeed! A more likely explanation is that the suspensions were related to anti-botting activity, as they came back from suspension with fewer followers than before. Journalists buying Twitter followers is not unheard of, unfortunately: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/journalists-struggle-explain-why-they-bought-fake-twitter-followers-n843871 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/journalists-struggle-ex...
