@twittersupport: Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.
@ericfreyss: Any attempt to remove my tweets that link to my other social media accounts, not violating any law, would actually make #twitter an editorial media, and no longer a social media platform, with civil and criminal liability for *any* illegal content therein. https://help.twitter.com/...
@twittersafety: Should we have a policy preventing the creation of or use of existing accounts for the main purpose of advertising other social media platforms?
Elon Musk / @elonmusk: @TrungTPhan @stillgray Casually sharing occasional links is fine, but no more relentless advertising of competitors for free, which is absurd in the extreme
@twittersupport: We recognize that many of our users are active on other social media platforms. However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter.
Elon Musk / @elonmusk: @stillgray Exactly. Twitter should be easy to use, but no more relentless free advertising of competitors. No traditional publisher allows this and neither will Twitter.
Noam Bardin / @noam: Just wanted to assure everyone that you can post any link you want on https://post.news/. We make it easy to add all your social media links to your profile since none of us only use one platform. Freedom = Choice https://twitter.com/...
@twittersupport: More information on this policy, as well as how we will take action on violations, can be found here: https://help.twitter.com/...

Tony Webster / @webster: Effective immediately, you are violating Twitter policy by providing URLs or handles of your other social profiles.

Justin Hendrix / @justinhendrix: TikTok excluded. Driving too much engagement to penalize? https://twitter.com/...

@peterktodd: Fuck that shit. Obviously anti-competitive. It'd be good for Twitter employees and managers involved in creating and implementing this policy to get criminal charges for it. Society should expect people asked to do bullshit like this to quit their jobs. https://mastodon.petertodd.org/ @pete https://twitter.com/...
Brendan Keefe / @brendankeefe: I dipped back into Twitter only to report this to the @FTC as a possible anti-trust violation. I have also filed a formal notification to antitrust@ftc.gov.

Kyle Clark / @kyleclark: Trying to keep people from finding the exits? What is this, IKEA? https://twitter.com/...
Mae / @mmbrussell: Can we please drop this “free speech” thing? We know he's an authoritarian and a chaos actor. Stop playing by his rules. Stop playing to his game. Binary traps, Overton window, crazy - it is an arena of behaviour. Ours. Not theirs. Start explaining the Big Pictures. https://twitter.com/...
@emberw0lf: People like Twitter for the freedom. Because TikTok, Facebook and Instagram are restricting of so much.. good job for turning it into a platform everyone is now going to hate. https://twitter.com/...
@pwnallthethings: Twitter formalizes blocking of accounts and tweets that encourage readers to follow you on other social media sites, including Mastodon. Specific examples of violating tweets given: > “follow me @username on Instagram” > “username@mastodon.social” https://help.twitter.com/...
Mark Harris / @markharrisnyc: The word “occasional” is all the evidence you need that this “policy” is unvetted sulky harrumphing that a freaked-out dilettante is making up as he goes along. What's “occasional”? And who's going to monitor it—his vast new skeleton staff? https://twitter.com/...
Nick Statt / @nickstatt: Can't fathom the depths of craven idiocy in Elon's inner circle either suggesting stuff like this or telling him it's a good idea to follow through https://twitter.com/...
Judd Legum / @juddlegum: This one is going to be blowout. Imagine thinking people will support your efforts to limit competition. All other social media platforms allow you to post tweets. https://twitter.com/...
@lessin: Twitter -was- a trusted social capital bank for the last decade — Elon trying to shut down links to other social services is the equivalent of trying to stop withdrawals during a run on the social capital bank.... https://twitter.com/...

Matt Pearce / @mattdpearce: Twitter is trying to lock people on this platform https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Julia Alexander / @loudmouthjulia: If Elon's going to start indirectly referring to Twitter as a publisher ("no traditional publisher allows this, and neither will Twitter"), then someone should send him this very good reading material! https://www.theverge.com/...
@yashar: You can no longer promote your other social media accounts on Twitter. You can't tweet “follow me on Instagram” with the link to your Instagram account or even the @ of your account. You also can't use linktree anymore. Only exception is if you pay to promote your tweet. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Balaji / @balajis: This is a bad policy and should be reversed. The right way to compete is to build a better product, not to restrict the use of your product. https://twitter.com/...

Peter Kafka / @pkafka: *Obviously - it was always obvious but now it's super-duper obvious and we don't have to pretend anymore (https://t.co/...) - whatever new TOS/justifications Elon and his flunkies introduce today could be gone by tonight or never implemented so who knows.
@minds: Somehow creating policy for restricting links to other social networks was priority over: 1. Open sourcing algos and code 2. Encrypting messages 3. Revising Twotter TOS to support free speech 4. Introducing monetization 5. Decentralizing 😕 https://twitter.com/...

Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Just for context: This isn't necessarily a new Twitter feature. In the past, if people broke the rules, they'd be required to delete the tweet to resume posting again. The issue here is, of course, that the journalists all dispute they broke the rules with their tweets.
Patrick Gaspard / @patrickgaspard: This change of direction by Musk changes nothing at all in the reality that we have vital press freedoms hanging on the capricious whims of one reckless man-child. https://www.theverge.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Of note: Insider's @lopezlinette and @keitholbermann still remain totally banned. https://twitter.com/...
Roger Sollenberger / @sollenbergerrc: Of the journalists suspended last night, @atrupar would be hit particularly hard as an independent operation who depends on Twitter for his livelihood (and he's got a kid!) Unclear whether or if he'll be back, but you can support Aaron Rupar via substack https://aaronrupar.substack.com/ ...
Jon Levine / New York Post: Suspended journalists bring appeal to Twitter

Luke Johnson / Public Sphere: Elon Musk Is Not Taking His Own Advice

Benjamin Hoffman / @benhoffmannyt: Taylor apparently getting suspended for asking for a comment on a story is probably the worst of the suspensions so far? But hey, Taibbi revealed the shocking secrets that the FBI reads our public tweets so the Elon era is going great. https://taylorlorenz.substack.com/ ...
Ashton Pittman / @ashtonpittman: NBC execs suspended Ben Collins for speaking the truth about what Elon Musk—a powerful billionaire—is doing as he censors journalists on Twitter. We need MORE truth-to-power journalism, not less. Ben is one of the best. Shame on NBC. #FreeBen https://twitter.com/...
Chip Goines / @chipgoines: Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) is one of the best reporters on the Hellsite Beat and was in the twitter space last night when Elon Musk popped in. For NBC News to ice him during one of the biggest stories of the year is disheartening. I can't believe they're doing Musk's bidding. https://twitter.com/...
Katie Notopoulos / @katienotopoulos: I've been kicked off a lot of platforms: Friendster, MySpace (a few times), FourSquare, Tinder, and been suspended here at least twice in the past. But it still brings me a smile to have completely destroyed the entire Spaces functionality

Bari Weiss / @bariweiss: The old regime at Twitter governed by its own whims and biases and it sure looks like the new regime has the same problem. I oppose it in both cases. And I think those journalists who were reporting on a story of public importance should be reinstated.

Oliver Darcy / CNN: Elon Musk offers journalists he banned from Twitter ability to return under certain condition
Michael J. Stern / @michaeljstern1: Musk banned Twitter accounts of journalists whom he falsely accused of tweeting his “real time locations.” Then, he made them promise to remove their tweets. This is Musk's way of breaking the press & making them fear writing about him negatively. https://www.cnn.com/...
Matthew Bennett / The Spain Report: Some more notes on Twitter and Musk
Jason Linkins / @dceiver: Musk says the suspended journalists can have their accounts back if they delete the tweets that shared his “exact real-time” location—it's going to be hard to comply with that condition, though, seeing as these aforementioned tweets do not actually exist https://www.cnn.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: No. This takes Musk entirely too seriously. He is not a “press baron.” He is an insane, little man. In Suspending Journalists on Twitter, Musk Flexes His Media Muscle https://www.nytimes.com/...

Abbey White / The Hollywood Reporter: Chris Licht Says Primetime for CNN Remains “Open Canvas,” Calls Criticisms of Network's Repositioning “Uniformed Vitriol”
David Corn / @davidcorndc: I wonder about this analogy. Can you compare a rainy day to an attack on democracy. If one side supports democracy and the other side wants to overturn it, do you cover both the same? https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@goldietaylor: There was a time when CNN played in the background in my house throughout the viewing day. Nowadays, the most I see are clips on social. https://twitter.com/...
David M. Perry / @lollardfish: At no point does this article, which we are informed is based off of several long interviews, identify any vitriol, uninformed or otherwise. https://twitter.com/...
@mariaramirezny: Christ Licht he and Stephen Colbert have spoken nearly every Friday since Licht left for CNN. Each time, Mr. Colbert begins with the same four words: “I told you so.” A very good article by @JamesStewartNYT https://www.nytimes.com/...
Shannon Watts / @shannonrwatts: CNN CEO Chris Licht calls criticisms of the network for hiring a gun lobby shill as a pundit on gun violence “uninformed vitriol” from the left, saying, “No one wants a school shooting. But we have to understand the culture of people who like guns.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Thomas Zimmer / @tzimmer_history: The guy now in charge of CNN? Another excellent example of what reactionary centrism is.

Zach Schonfeld / The Hill: CNN chief says ‘uninformed vitriol’ from left has been ‘stunning’
@tvgrimreaper: He can cut expenses to increase profits, but CNN's business is too tied to the decline of the multichannel bundle for him to make much of a difference to revenue. ~4,000 words spent ignoring that simple fact. https://twitter.com/...
Miriam E. Tucker / @miriametucker: “Asked about his efforts to make #CNN less partisan, Mr. Licht gave this analogy: Suppose it's raining outside. CNN plans to have people on who love the rain, and it will have people on who say they don't like the rain. But it won't have anyone on who says it's sunny out.” https://twitter.com/...
Kenneth P. Vogel / @kenvogel: CHRIS LICHT, on the backlash to his efforts to make @CNN less left-leaning: “The uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning.” “Which proves my point: so much of what passes for news is name-calling, half-truths & desperation.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
@froomkin: Gag. The whole piece is a slobbery kiss to the man's posterior. No serious discussion of the issues. And if he's “philosophically aligned” with Malone, then CNN's really in big trouble. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Hoo-boy. The already awful head of CNN, Chris Licht, declares the left his enemy. “The uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning.

Kevin Roderick / @laobserved: “He knew that the big story S.I. had been missing was the story of soccer, the global game—and the women's game.
