Thanks for pointing that out, that happened faster than I could hit reload.
Drew Harwell is a Washington Post technology reporter who has worked there since 2014.
The text of that tweet (almost certainly what got him suspended - not sure whether it was the reporting on mastodon or the sarcasm about "Loving the free speech") was
Twitter just suspended a competitor's account (@joinmastodon
) because it posted a link to its own website's version of @ElonJet
- public, legally acquired data that Twitter decided two days ago was against the rules. Loving the free speech (h/t @mmasnick
)
It appears Twitter has banned the accounts of Aaron Rupar (@atrupar
) and Washington Post reporter @drewharwell
. Unclear why, but this seems to be the final tweet from Harwell.
