Elon Musk bans several prominent journalists from Twitter, calling into question his commitment to free speech

CNN  

New York CNN — Twitter on Thursday evening banned the accounts of several high-profile journalists from the nation’s top news organizations, marking a significant attempt by new owner and self-described free speech absolutist Elon Musk to wield his unilateral authority over the platform to censor the press. In April, on the same day he announced he would purchase Twitter, he had tweeted: “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.” A CNN spokesperson said the company has asked Twitter for an explanation, and it would “reevaluate our relationship based on that response.” “The impulsive and unjustified suspension of a number of reporters, including CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, is concerning but not surprising. We hope that all of the journalists’ accounts are reinstated and that Twitter provides a satisfying explanation for this action.” “Elon says he is a free speech champion and he is banning journalists for exercising free speech,” Harwell told CNN on Thursday. Several organizations condemned Twitter’s decision, with the head of the American Civil Liberties Union saying: “It’s impossible to square Twitter’s free speech aspirations with the purging of critical journalists’ accounts.” The president of the Society of Professional Journalists said in a statement it was “concerned” about the suspensions, and that the move “affects all journalists.” Flight tracking controversy The @ElonJet account, which had amassed more than 500,000 followers, was permanently suspended Wednesday after Twitter introduced a set of new policies banning accounts that track people’s live locations.
