Elon Musk suspends Irish CNN journalist from Twitter

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 suspended accounts include Irish journalist Donie O'Sullivan who works for CNN.

Neither the company nor Mr Musk gave any explanation for why it took down the accounts and made their profiles and past tweets disappear.

Twitter also on Wednesday changed its rules to prohibit the sharing of another person’s current location without their consent.

Several of the reporters suspended on Thursday night had been writing about that new policy and Mr Musk’s rationale for imposing it, which involved his allegations about a stalking incident that affected his family on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
