SHOCKING! Elon Musk bans journalists from CNN, NYT and more on Twitter for 'doxxing'
In the early morning of Friday, December 16, microblogging platform Twitter banned some journalists from the platform. Most of these journalists were high-profile, belonging to institutions such as CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post and more. While the reason for the ban was not known at the time, it was later revealed by the company CEO Elon Musk that the accounts were suspended in connection with live sharing of his location data (also known as doxxing), which violated the new terms of service of Twitter. Elon Musk also made a series of tweets after the suspension of the account and said that sharing the data was endangering his family.
