Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>He later added: \u201cCriticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doxxing\u201d refers to disclosing online someone\u2019s identity, address, or other personal details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNN, Post call actions unjustified<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post\u2019s executive editor, Sally Buzbee, called for technology reporter Drew Harwell\u2019s Twitter account to be reinstated immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The suspension \u201cdirectly undermines Elon Musk\u2019s claim that he intends to run Twitter as a platform dedicated to free speech,\u201d Buzbee wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarwell was banished without warning, process or explanation, following the publication of his accurate reporting about Musk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN said in a statement that \u201cthe impulsive and unjustified suspension of a number of reporters, including CNN\u2019s Donie O\u2019Sullivan, is concerning but not surprising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwitter\u2019s increasing instability and volatility should be of incredible concern for everyone who uses Twitter,\u201d CNN\u2019s statement added. \u201cWe have asked Twitter for an explanation, and we will reevaluate our relationship based on that response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another suspended journalist, Matt Binder of the technology news outlet Mashable, said he was banned Thursday night immediately after sharing a screenshot that O\u2019Sullivan had posted before the CNN reporter\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n<p>The screenshot showed a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department sent earlier Thursday to multiple media outlets, including The Associated Press, about how it was in touch with Musk\u2019s representatives about the alleged stalking incident, but that no crime report had yet been filed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not share any location data, as per Twitter\u2019s new terms.<\/p>\n<p>Nor did I share any links to ElonJet or other location tracking accounts,\u201d Binder said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been highly critical of Musk but never broke any of Twitter\u2019s listed policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Binder said a message he received while trying to access his Twitter account showed that his suspension was permanent.<\/p>\n<p>But Musk later suggested the penalty would last a week in response to a question about his suspension of former ESPN and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doxxing alleged<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Late Thursday, Musk briefly joined a Twitter Spaces conference chat hosted by journalist Kate Notopoulos of Buzzfeed.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated his claims that the journalists Twitter banned were \u201cdoxxing\u201d him when they were reporting on the jet tracking accounts being banned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is not special treatment for journalists,\u201d Musk said, after being asked by the Post\u2019s Drew Harwell if he had a connection between the stalking incident and posting of real-time information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou dox, you get suspended, end of story,\u201d he added, before abruptly signing out.<\/p>\n<p>The suspensions come as Musk makes major changes to content moderation on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>He has tried, through the release of selected company documents dubbed as \u201cThe Twitter Files,\u201d to claim the platform suppressed right-wing voices.<\/p>\n<p>He had promised to let free speech reign, but indicated he would take measures not to amplify misinformation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Condemnation from EU commissioner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit Committee to Protect Journalists, which defends journalists around the world, said Thursday night it was concerned about the suspensions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf confirmed as retaliation for their work, this would be a serious violation of journalists\u2019 right to report the news without fear of reprisal,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n<p>European Union Commissioner Vera Jourova, who heads up the 27-nation bloc\u2019s work on values and transparency, also weighed in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNews about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying,\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Existing EU media rules and new digital regulations taking effect next year require \u201crespect of media freedom and fundamental rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jourova said, \u201c(at)elonmusk should be aware of that.<\/p>\n<p>There are red lines. And sanctions, soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOURCE: The Associated Press<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2536361819\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter on Thursday suspended the accounts of journalists who cover the social media platform and its new owner Elon Musk, including reporters working for The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and other publications.
