Interestingly, the author still doesn't have her Bluesky profile listed, though I suppose that might be the decision of The Intercept? https://bsky.app/profile/jsweetli.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/jsweetli.bsky.social

  More interesting, apparently Musk Social is blocking the link to her story, even in DMs https://bsky.app/profile/jsweetli.bsky.social/post/3lezkgnryfk2z https://bsky.app/profile/jsweetli.bsky.social/post/3lezkgnry...

Everyone that's been censored on X should get together and file a class action lawsuit. X and Elon are in clear violation of the 'safe harbor' clause in Section 230 that legally indemnifies a site from content produced by 3rd parties. But Section 230 only allows for moderation of content in 'good faith' not editorialization of content which X and Elon are definitively engaging in. If X was found to be in violation of Section 230 it would be legally liable for all content on the site even if posted by a 3rd party. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230

  Sure, that's likely to get somewhere. Just let nature take it's course and Twitter die on the vine.

    Why the sarcasm and hopelessness? 'Do nothing' is an act of despair, not really a solution.

      We tried nothing and nothing worked.

seems the ...temporary , ban was at least partialy waranted, as they did infact expose a private person to a whole other level of scruteny(doxing) by bieng assosiated with musk The whole thing is sordid,eye crossing ,nat enquirer level, look away, look away, bad bad bad. They are all digging a pit, feeding the trolls who feed him, creating a whole industry of childish, trivia, and minutia,of who said what about whom, when and why. There is no mommy god to send everyone to there rooms, hungry, to think things over.
