I like the fact they're disrupting general links to Mastodon as well, pretty petty.

No it’s not. You said pages ago he can do what he wants. Well, he’s doing it, just find the hypocrisy stinks, that when this was happening to conservative type accounts, by the leftist Twitter regime, there was a deafening silence.

If you joined Mastodon, you could provide helpful balance and help show those woke liberals the errors of their ways!

Yes because who cares? I am only saying now that it turns out the same people decrying the right-wing bans are finding excuses for the left-wing bans. Proving it was never about free speech and more just about the culture war.
No one is entitled to decide Twitter's moderation policy, it was never nearly a big deal as people were making out.

Yes they are, that would Elon, so long as he acting in accordance with the law.
Also, it’s not a cultist war, they linked to information that contained private details, Elon accuses them of linking to his private address, doesn’t matter how available they are, outside of Twitter, linking to or providing such personal information, isn’t allowed, it’s a reasonable request and those journalists breached that rule, testing and trolling Elon, by spuriously posting links, that was bound to get them in to trouble, to where they are now, I’m sure they will be unbanned at some point.

I saw a post from one of the owners, he had people whinging at him from all corners, don’t allow this account, don’t let that account on. He quite frankly had enough of being whinged at that day, so no thanks.

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
Banning accounts for posting publicly available facts is just dumb.
Then again, it seems hes a bit of a nut job, who is losing the plot more each day.
I guess the fact he made a huge blunder buying it, and was forced to use a big chunk of his (shrinking) fortune in the process, is getting to him.

I don’t think it is dumb. If someone posted a link to your details, after someone just potentially seemed to stalk what they thought was you, but it was his young son, you wouldn’t like it. Even if that information is on another site.

Well I do.
There is a difference between "not liking it" and outright banning an account.
He can just delete the post and/or warn them to stop (if they ignore this and carry on, thats another matter).

I personally feel some of them were testing him & trolling him, the mastodon account posted links to the elonjet account, now on mastodon, given the security scare he’s received with a stalker, he suspended that account. He created a ruling that forbids posting real-time information of celebrity whereabouts on Twitter, these journalists then posted links to this information on mastodon, after he had warned that doing so will lead to account suspension.

Ok, well if thats the case, it seems fair enough.
[ Esp if, as Mick noted above, they were warned first ].

Musk reinstates the journalists in a manner as concerning as the way they were suspended.

What was strange about it?
Elon set a poll, people voted 59% to 41% to unsuspend the journalists, seems a reasonable way, democracy in action. I think nearly 4 Million had voted on it in 24 hours.
People call Elon for his strangeness, but one of the Journalists suspended, was evading his temp ban through his dogs Twitter account, yeah he had set one up for his bloody dog.A U.S Sports commentator, Keith Olbermann.

I think Musk was getting pressure from governments and he used the vote as a way of saving face.
