Hi Twitter:
I'm launching a new political newsletter called Popular Information.
It's for people who give a damn.
It would be awesome if you would try it out and let me know what you think.
You can sign up at popular.info.
Thanks!

Wow. I was in this space, discussing Musk until a few minutes ago. It included a number of prominent journalists discussing the suspensions. At one point, Musk dropped by.

Sorry it appears the Space cut out, screen went suddenly blank on my end and everyone got booted.

My vote is for Musk to stop lying since none of the suspended journalists tweeted his “exact location in real-time.”

People were saying you can't link to Mastodon, but it works for me. (Perhaps because I'm not on one of the big servers?)

It's almost like the people who have spent the last six years prattling about free speech don't fucking care about (or understand) free speech

First statement I've seen from Twitter:

Re: the banning of reporters who have tweeted about Elon Musk’s jet, Twitter's head of trust & safety Ella Irwin tells me: “Without commenting on any specific accounts, I can confirm that we will suspend any accounts that violate our privacy policies and put other users at risk."

A revealing moment for Glenn who supports banning journalists he doesn't like.
Quote Tweet
What happened to:
-- Private companies have the right to disassociate themselves from anyone they want.
-- Have you ever heard of "Terms of Service?"
-- If you don't like how Twitter does content moderation, start your own social media site.
Remember all those arguments? twitter.com/SawyerHackett/…
