Twitter suspends accounts of several journalists with no explanation
CBSN
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.
The company hasn't explained why it took down the accounts and made their profiles and past tweets disappear.
The sudden suspension of news reporters followed Musk's decision Wednesday to permanently ban an account that automatically tracked the flights of his private jet using publicly available data. It came despite a pledge by Musk to keep the account up because of his free speech principles.
