Read our privacy policy Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has condemned billionaire Elon Musk after the new Twitter chief suspended accounts of half a dozen journalists who routinely reported on him and the social media platform. Defending the move, Mr Musk said rules banning the publishing of personal information or “doxxing” applied to everyone, including journalists. The self-proclaimed free speech absolutist said the “same doxxing rules apply to ‘journalists’ as to everyone else” in response to a tweet on the suspended accounts. Mr Musk swiftly responded: “You first lol.” After a strong pushback, the Twitter chief on Friday said there would be a seven-day suspension for doxxing.
