Elon Musk has banned a handful of journalists temporarily for doxxing him.
By revealing his location, they put Musk and his family in danger. This is also a violation of the Twitter terms of service.
And now the media suddenly cares about free speech and people being banned from social media, because as usual, it’s all about them.
FOX News reports:
New York Times, Washington Post, CNN blast Elon Musk’s ‘impulsive and unjustified’ Twitter suspensions
The New York Times, Washington Post and CNN are speaking out after Twitter owner Elon Musk suspended the accounts of several prominent journalists on Thursday night.
Among those whose accounts were suspended include CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan, New York Times technology reporter Ryan Mac and Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell. After a period of confusion and chaos, Musk eventually claimed the accounts violated his “doxxing” policy by reporting on, or tweeting about, an account that posted information on the location of Musk’s private jet in real time.
Musk, who has long described himself as being a free-speech absolutist, was quickly scolded by angry journalists from both sides of the aisle. Fourth Watch editor Steve Krakauer, a frequent critic of liberal media, slammed Musk in a series of tweets.
“Musk’s ‘free speech’ veneer has been exposed has been exposed as a fraud unless he reverses these frivolous suspensions immediately,” Krakauer wrote. :Do you have principals, or do you really only want to accrue power so you can punish the other side in the way you feel you’ve been wronged?”

None of these liberals cared when conservatives were getting banned.
