#Pressefreiheit darf nicht nach Belieben ein- und ausgeschaltet werden. Unten stehende Journalisten können auch uns ab heute nicht mehr folgen, kommentieren und kritisieren. Damit haben wir ein Problem @Twitter.

News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU’s Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our #MediaFreedomAct. @elonmusk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon.

@eirliani, a friend of mine, and former member of Twitter's Trust and Safety Council (now disbanded), tried to add her Mastodon handle/url to her Twitter profile - but failed. Twitter now considers Mastodon MALWARE and blocks both the addition of links and the display of handles!

Former head of Twitter’s @twitter social media handle Alphonzo Terrell is pouring his skills into a new app called Spill, which he is building with a team of ex-Twitter workers, some of whom were part of the exodus at the company after Elon Musk took over.

Alphonzo Terrell, who led Twitter's social handles before Musk laid off half the staff, is ready to ‘spill the tea’ with a new startup.

Neither Cernovich nor Logan themselves made any direct threats against the former Council members. H/o, the 2 became vectors for harassment by framing the resignations as somehow tied to a CSAM conspiracy, thereby making the connection to a well-worn extremist talking point. 10/

Musk replied directly to Logan and agreed, unleashing a flurry of harassment and threats directed at the three individuals. 9/

Lara Logan, a fmr Fox News journalist who recently promoted an antisemitic blood libel conspiracy, quote-tweeted the letter. She alleged that the 3 former members had been complicit in failures to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and needed to be “held accountable.” 8/

It should be noted that the Council comprised a group of independent experts worldwide who volunteered their time to advise Twitter on its products, programs, and rules. Its members were not directly involved in any of Twitter’s decisions. 7/
