Journalists ban on twitter : The CEO of Twitter hasn't held back on responding to accusations of him hampering the microblogging site's 'freedom of speech'. Twitter recently suspended accounts of roughly half a dozen prominent journalists, who have been covering the social media site and Musk, citing they had violated rules against "doxxing." The suspended accounts include those 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, political journalist Keith Olbermann, Aaron Rupar and Tony Webster, both independent journalists, the New York Times reported. The development follows a policy update made by Twitter on Thursday prohibiting the sharing of "live location information, including information shared on Twitter directly or links to 3rd-party URL of travel routes."
