I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.
Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.
Leave. Now.
@dangillmor Why would any reputable news organization continue to engage on a platform that has so clearly indicated that it intends to control (and shut down) critical reporting on it?
@mattblaze Agreed. I get why the reporters would want to keep their accounts (what's happening with the site is newsworthy after all), but the corps should close shop ASAP.
