After banning @elonjet, which he said he wouldn’t, Musk has now banned @joinmastodon after it tweeted that users could follow the jet-tracking account on their platform.
It appears Washington Post journalist @drewharwell was suspended as well for pointing out that Mastodon was suspended for promoting ElonJet, which I also just did in the above tweet.
New York Times journalist Ryan Mac has now been suspended for merely mentioning Musk’s suspension of Mastodon and ElonJet.
CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan has also been suspended for tweeting about Musk’s suspension of Mastodon and ElonJet.
Mashable’s Matt Binder has now been suspended for covering Musk’s suspension of Mastodon and ElonJet.
The Intercept’s Micah Lee how now been suspended for tweeting about Musk’s suspension of Mastodon and ElonJet.
The account for journalist Keith Olbermann has been suspended as well after similarly tweeting about Musk's suspension of Mastodon, ElonJet, and other journalists.
Verge Journalist Alex Heath reports that Ella Irwin, the head of Twitter’s Trust & Safety, vaguely has responded to the suspensions by pointing to the new policy regarding open source location tracking.
Elon Musk appears to be defending the recent suspension of numerous journalists by arguing that merely referencing the ElonJet account is akin to "doxxing."
Voice of America journalist Steve Herman has now been suspended for linking to the Mastodon account of ElonJet.
Twitter is now blocking all links to the social media platform Mastodon.

Users attempting to share a link to the platform are met with a warning that claims the link "has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful."
Musk is now arguing that sharing links to the Mastodon account of ElonJet, which uses publicly available radar data to track his private jet, is akin to giving out "assassination coordinates."

A blog run by David Depape, the Berkley man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer, has articles titled 'Hitler did nothing wrong,' 'Black pilled,' and 'Pedophile normalization.' Image
Correction: 'Hitlery' was autocorrected to 'Hitler.'

The specific blog post in question is referring to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

A fake statement from Donald Trump congratulating Elon Musk on his acquisition of Twitter is spreading online.

The fabricated quote claims Trump's account will be reinstated Monday & that the ex-president is "Happy to be able to engage with an African-American owned business." twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It appears the Independent briefly ran with the false claim but has since changed the article's headline.

The incorrect article has already been aggregated by Yahoo News.

NEW: An anti-vaccine dating website that allows users to donate “mRNA FREE” semen left its users’ personal data exposed online.

dailydot.com/debug/anti-vax…
The site that was leaking user data, known as 'Unjected,' is similar in design to Twitter but is often referred to as the “Tinder for anti-vaxxers.”

Users can advertise their 'mRNA FREE' blood, sperm, or eggs to one another.
dailydot.com/debug/anti-vax…
Security researcher @GeopJr1312 discovered that Unjected's web application framework had been left in debug mode.

From there they were able to find the private email addresses for the site's roughly 3,500 members.

Every submission option featured by WikiLeaks leads to broken sites & errors.

WikiLeaks also offers a clearnet webchat where users can be assisted in accessing the tor network in order to securely provide them with leaks.

Yet the domain is 502. dailydot.com/debug/submitti…

Just received a DM from the account that has been targeting journalists with phishing attacks.

Looks like others such as @JennaMC_Laugh and @dnvolz were just targeted as well.

The account used to belong to ex-NSA contractor Reality Winner but was seemingly hijacked. Image
The phishing page being used by an account posing as Twitter to target journalists is hosted on Google Sites. Image
Looks like the account has now suddenly removed its photo and Twitter “Feedback Team” username. Image
