Calling Out Right-Wing Media Is Apparently a Bannable Offense on Elon Musk's Twitter
Yesterday, Andrew Lawrence, writer for the left-wing site Media Matters, was briefly suspended from Twitter for posting spam. According to NBC reporter Ben Collins, Twitter didnt specify what Lawrence had posted that counted as spam, and on the day of the suspension, Lawrences only posts were criticisms of Twitters new owner Elon Musk and Fox Newss Tucker Carlson. Lawrences account has since been reinstated, also with no explanation.
Lawrences first post before the suspension was a tweet pointing out that Musk has yet to make good on his promise to unveil a Teslas completed humanoid robot. Musk is currently claiming that his company Neuralink will start implanting microchips in the brains of humans within six months.
Lawrences second post before the suspension was a tweet criticizing Tucker Carlson, after Carlson falsely claimed that the National Hockey League is discouraging white people from playing hockey.
As of this writing, theres still no word on why Lawrences account was suspended. Did Musk take personal offense at the criticism? Was Lawrence reported by right-wing Twitter users? After his account was reinstated, Lawrence pointed out that many smaller left-wing accounts are also being suspended, but their creators dont have the reach that Lawrence does.
