I guess the addition of “this is humor — never put bleach in your eyes” … Paris Marx / @parismarx@mastodon.online : Elon Musk suspended Linette Lopez from Twitter after years of critical reporting on his companies. Ali G. / @ali_gharib@infosec.exchange : If you click @micahflee's Twitter profile, it looks like he's back, but in reality he's still blocked from his account.

I'm very excited for this. Drew Harwell / @drewharwell@mastodon.social : Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. Donie O'Sullivan / @donieosullivan@mastodon.ie : @drewharwell@mastodon.social yeah and a little frustrating that pretty much every outlet misreported it as us being reinstated.

Well that was a complete lie. https://www.theguardian.com/ ... https://twitter.com/... Olaf Storbeck / @olafstorbeck : Elon Musk is still silencing the journalists he banned from Twitter, says @micahflee “It looks like Musk unblocked journalists like me. It's an illusion: The truth is that we are still locked out of our accounts.we are still locked out of our accounts.” https://theintercept.com/... Dylan Ogline / @dylanogline : So much for free speech. https://twitter.com/... David C Bell / @moviehooligan : Some added context! https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/... Anthony DeRosa / @anthony : What's the point of #TwitterFiles if new management is going to continue doing what it accused prior management of doing? https://theintercept.com/...
