Musk suspends 9 journalists for doxing him

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Musk suspended the accounts of at least nine journalists who he said tweeted links to an account which tracks the movements of his private jet, an action he likened to posting 'assassination coordinates.'

Journalists Ryan Mac of the New York Times, Drew Harwell of The Washington Post, Donie O'Sullivan of CNN, Matt Binder of Mashable, Michah Lee of The Intercept, Steven Herman of VOA, along with Aaron Rupar, Tony Webster, and Keith Olberman, all found their Twitter accounts suspended on Thursday.

Following the suspensions, CNN posted a statement saying it had asked Twitter to explain, and that it would 'reevaluate our relationship based on that response.'

Musk took to Twitter Thursday night to accuse the suspended journalists of doxxing him - the act of revealing identifying personal information online.

'They posted my exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service,' he wrote.

'Same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else,' he added, and noted that the suspension would last seven days.

AOC sympathizes with Musk after he banned nine journalists

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to voice her sympathy for Elon Musk's desire to keep himself and his family safe from doxxing.

Doxing is very dangerous.
These Far Left Democrat "activists" are violent fanatics.
The crazy liberal Democrats did the same thing to Judge Kavanagh after the controversial hate monger Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer incited violence against the Supreme Court.
The Left's hatred for Freedom of Speech is another indication that the Democrats are dangerous police state totalitarians.
They fear Freedom of Speech because the truth will destroy them.

I wouldn't call these guys journalist. More like hacks for a cause.

"Journalists"?....Mr. Musk is being more than kind in his description of them but maybe calling them filthy pieces of trash is against the rules.

 

[AMart]

Those are some evil commie leftists. They need a perma ban.

Keith Olberman is giving the crazy fascist Democrat 'journalists' a bad reputation.

Musk Shakes Up Twitter’s Legal Team as He Looks to Cut More Costs (Published 2022)

Twitter has stopped paying rent on offices and is considering not paying severance packages to former employees, among other measures.

Mr. Musk appears to be gearing up for legal battles at Twitter, which he purchased in October for $44 billion, according to seven people familiar with internal conversations. He and his team have revamped Twitter’s legal department and pushed out one of his closest advisers in the process. They have also instructed employees to not pay vendors in anticipation of potential litigation, the people said.
To cut costs, Twitter has not paid rent for its San Francisco headquarters or any of its global offices for weeks, three people close to the company said. Twitter has also refused to pay a $197,725 bill for private charter flights made the week of Mr. Musk’s takeover, according to a copy of a lawsuit filed in New Hampshire District Court and obtained by The New York Times.
Twitter’s leaders have also discussed the consequences of denying severance payments to thousands of people who have been laid off since the takeover, two people familiar with the talks said. And Mr. Musk has threatened employees with lawsuits if they talk to the media and “act in a manner contrary to the company’s interest,” according to an internal email sent last Friday.

but when team biden uses these same tactics or worse you're silent

I wouldn’t call that doxing either since it was something Musk allowed until he didn’t. Meanwhile he is doing his own form of doxing forcing people to go into hiding.

 

[Vastator]

The sole purpose of doxxing is to endanger the person being doxxed.

 

[1srelluc]

The gnashing if leftist teeth not withstanding I think I've figured-out what Musk is doing....He's not a genius for nothing!

OK, it's been found that 2% of users (mostly "journalists") create 58% of "tweets"....So if you get shed of them at every opportunity then things really open-up.

It also weeds-out "people" like the OP.

doxing is also a terms of service violation but the crazy dems don't understand why musk suspended these 'journalists'

Biden is refusing to pay rent?

doxing is also a terms of service violation but the crazy dems don't understand why musk suspended these 'journalists'

Musk is a public figure, so Doxxing doesn't really apply here.

Agree.

You do know that the other tech companies are laying off people ? Are you ignoring that because it doesn't support your partisan hackery ?

What happened to "boohoo, Twitter shouldn't suspend people"?

Doxxing applies to all people, the famous even more so. You might need to check in with Rupar lol.

 

[luiza]

What happened to "boohoo, Twitter shouldn't suspend people"?

What happened to Twitter not supporting illegal activities which are potentially very dangerous and also crude and vulgar in decent circles ?

 

[Blaster]

Keith Olberman is giving the crazy fascist Democrat 'journalists' a bad reputation.

They already had a bad reputation.

I'd pay a thug to take Olby into a back alley and beat the living shit out of him.

Not surprised that you don't know the difference between free speech and harassment.
