Mitchell Clark / The Verge:
Twitter reactivates some journalists' accounts, after 58.7% of participants in Elon Musk's poll voted to lift the suspension “now” compared to 41.3% “in 7 days” — (The journalists did not reveal his real-time location.) Out of the two poll options, “now” …

Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor@mastodon.social: I don't think journalists (in general) — and certainly not the organizations they work for …
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Musk has also banned Fox Business Network's @SusanLiTV. She said Saturday morning that the ban came Friday around 5-6pm: “After a full day of reporting on these Twitter account suspensions, I find myself in the same suspension.” https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Musk has restored several of the journalists he banned. But there is an apparent condition to their return. A notice on @donie's account said he'd been suspended for violating Twitter rules. It required him to delete a tweet before he'd be allowed to post, with option to appeal.
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/...

Temur Durrani / @temurdur: Not only is Elon Musk arbitrarily suspending the Twitter accounts for journalists, he is also lying about the length of the suspensions. In a tweet, Mr. Musk claims Taylor Lorenz of The Washington Post is suspended temporarily. But Twitter e-mailed Ms. Lorenz this is permanent. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Josh Marshall / @joshtpm: Got mad because she was preparing a story about him. So he suspended her account. Now he's saying it was because of stuff that happened in the past. Stuff you wouldn't know about, stuff in Canada, because even his cheerleaders are getting uneasy. https://twitter.com/...

Will Oremus / @willoremus: at this point it feels like Elon is just using Twitter's banhammer as his personal block button https://twitter.com/...
Nora Benavidez / @attorneynora: Now Taylor Lorenz has been suspended after approaching Musk with questions. Seems his reinstatement of previously banned reporters & love of equitable speech hasn't held for even a full 24 hours.
Greg Greene / @ggreeneva: Look, the rules here seem clear: if someone does journalism that upsets or mildly peeves Elmo, he'll banish that person from the piece of global journalism infrastructure that he bought.

Matt Binder / @mattbinder: i just realized i'm still banned from Twitter Spaces lol after i got suspended, i found a glitch where my account could still use Spaces right before Elon Musk joined the Space, i got booted. i assume they put a secondary ban on me to block Spaces too i'm still blocked on that https://twitter.com/...

@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.
Emma Roth / The Verge: Twitter abruptly bans all links to Instagram, Mastodon, and other competitors
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/...
Steven Musil / CNET: Twitter Bans Accounts Promoting Other Social Networks
Paul Graham / @paulg: This is the last straw. I give up. You can find a link to my new Mastodon profile on my site. https://help.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/...
Malcolm Owen / AppleInsider: Twitter blocks user links to other social platforms, except for paid ads
Igor Bonifacic / Engadget: Twitter bans links and username mentions relating to Facebook, Instagram and other rivals
Rob Beschizza / Boing Boing: After outcry over blocking links to Mastodon, Twitter announces ban on “promotion” of other social platforms
Abbey White / The Hollywood Reporter: Twitter Bans Linking to Mastodon, Facebook, Truth Social and Other Competitors
@elivalley: Using the word “mastodon” is now more likely to get you banned than calling for the extermination of entire communities https://twitter.com/...
Noah Kulwin / @nkulw: We have never seen a company this good at making money https://twitter.com/...
Kyle Clark / @kyleclark: Trying to keep people from finding the exits? What is this, IKEA? https://twitter.com/...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: This is the clearest declaration of weakness I've ever seen from a major US tech platform, and a transparent declaration of anticompetitive intent that a GC would set themselves on fire to prevent (if somebody had that job at Twitter). 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/...
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.
@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/...
Judd Legum / @juddlegum: Musk bans linking to Twitter's competitors. If you link to them, that content will be removed. He loves free speech. https://twitter.com/...
@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/...
Tony Webster / @webster: Effective immediately, you are violating Twitter policy by providing URLs or handles of your other social profiles. Telling others about your Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Post, or Linktree are banned. If you tweet “follow me [@ __] on Instagram,” your account will be suspended. https://twitter.com/...

Joe Flint / @jbflint: The board room battles. The secret call between Christine McCarthy and Bob Iger. Chapek and McCarthy's fighting. The behind-the-headlines tale of the battle for Disney. Lots of nuggets in here. W/@RWhelanWSJ @erichschwartzel @EmilyGlazer @jtoonkel https://www.wsj.com/...

James Pethokoukis / @jimpethokoukis: “He also told them he was frustrated with the idleness of his post-Disney life. ... Mr. Iger had taken a trip aboard the Aquarius, his 150-foot yacht, around the Fijian islands and complained to friends that his wife, Willow Bay, couldn't join him.” https://www.wsj.com/...
@rationalwalk: Man in his sixties loves his job, is very good at it, but retirement seems to be expected of him, so after hesitating, he picks someone to turn over the company to, but never really leaves. Two years later, after much needless turmoil and drama, he's back https://www.wsj.com/...
Karol Markowicz / @karol: Interesting piece. This seems like a company in trouble, and not just because of the wokeness, though that does play a big role. https://twitter.com/...

Bill Brewster / @billbrewstertbb: “Mr. Iger, then still under contract as exec chairman...called strategy meeting with Mr. Chapek's underlings without inviting the new CEO.” 😂 Was always obvious Iger was undermining but that's something special. https://www.wsj.com/...
Scott Gustin / @scottgustin: This is the most detailed recap of what happened at Disney over the past two years. The battle over furloughing parks employees, the secret Iger phone call, and how rumblings about ousting Chapek started in March https://www.wsj.com/...

A profile of sportswriter Grant Wahl, who helped elevate soccer, particularly women's soccer, in the US through his work spanning over two decades — The indefatigable sportswriter from Kansas knew that the power of the global game extended far beyond the field of play.

@celinegounder: Thank you, @NewYorker @louisahthomas for this lovely tribute to @GrantWahl. https://www.newyorker.com/...
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. This was not an easy argument to make, at the time, in mainstream American sports media. SI had published its share of essays suggesting that soccer was for sissies.” https://twitter.com/...
Ed Lavandera / @edlavacnn: There have been a lot of wonderful pieces written about soccer journalist @GrantWahl since he died but this piece is beyond words. Extraordinary details and majestic in its scope capturing the influence of Grant's work. https://twitter.com/...
@newyorker: .@louisahthomas remembers Grant Wahl, who died this month while reporting on the World Cup, as “synonymous with soccer journalism” in the United States. https://nyer.cm/GdfMTtK

Matt Zoller Seitz / @mattzollerseitz: Great piece by @kvanaren that serves as another reminder that the streaming era is basically about replacing physical media ownership with pixel renting.
