“We do sweeps for spam/scam accounts and sometimes real accounts get caught up in them,” Elon Musk wrote on X, responding to the temporary ban of at least 8 accounts, including those of a handful of journalists.

So the free speech absolutist/human shaped turd is censoring journalists again? I’m shocked!
Why would anyone would still be on Xitter blows my mind.
Ironically it’s probably because they feel at home, appreciated and valued in their own safe space. (There’s also probably quite a few increasingly unhappy almost technologically-illiterate legacy users who just need a helping hand to make the move.)
What about “I want twitter to be a bastion of free speech?” And all of his cronies screeching “Musk is just preserving the first ammendment!!1!¡”
Looks like the quiet part is now being said out loud: “for Nazis and fascists”
sometimes legitimate accounts get caught up in them
So you’ll unban them right?
😶
You’ll unban them, right?
The accounts, which were restored within hours,
Yes, they will and they did
For fucks sake just switch to mastodon already
Most unhelpful comment. I’m here for news, not advice that doesn’t even apply to me.
This wasnt really advice i was just saying that a lotnof people complain about twitter ON TWITTER. And when you just mention the possibility of using mastodon they have a nervous breakdown.
I’m just annoyed because all of the top few comments were all along the same lines. It gets old seeing people always respond to news articles with “ditch Twitter”, “ditch Chrome”, “ditch Windows”, etc. instead of addressing the specific story.
Yeah maybe but i didnt read the other comments lol
It’s simple. Stop using X. Switch to Mastodon.
Easy solution to that: Stop using it.
