Just the ones that make bull shit up

Where were the 'lawmakers' when reputable physicians were being banned for warning people about the vaccines?

Everyone is deliberately avoiding Elon Musk's reason for the suspension. The journalists revealed his home address and personal info putting his family at risk. This is a breach of Twitter rules.

Mr musk can do what he wants ,its his company plus again I bet 9news never once stood up for all that got banned for telling the truth or stood up for trump getting band. HIPOCRITES

No it’s not.

Hmmm, why were these hypocrites silent when prominent conservative figures were being banned from Twitter before Musk took over?🤔 Hypocrites.

If you were silent when twitter was scrubbing conservative commentators on the request of the FBI or on a whim, then you should suck it up and remain silent now!

They shared a link doxing his location. He has the fascist left after him now. He’s security must be protected !

I thought private companies were allowed to ban whoever they want? Now the shoe is on the other foot, and you want to allow doxxers? Of course they were banned, the gave out Elon's realtime location.

What a poor article it never mentioned the reason for the bans. More crap reporting from media outlets with incomplete articles failing to report accurately

Where were your reports of a 'fierce backlash' when the former management of twitter banned the President of the United States....?

Musk is awesome, just what this pathetic woke controlled world needs.

Censorship. He talks about free speech yet does this. Elons a self serving ego maniac goose. A lot like 45.

They published his live coordinates after some death threat , his son was being stalked , a clear violation of twitter rules oof safety ,

Not journalists. Much like you. Try 'deep state mouth piece'

Yet they didn’t care when a man president was and many other journalists and people were

He could probably suspend a lot of them seeing the majority of them spread lies and misinformation whilst silencing truth and information. Western media is a disgrace these days. All corrupt af Elon Musk should really see a doctor about that thin skin.
