Accounts for several journalists who cover Elon Musk were restored by Twitter on Friday after their controversial suspension a day prior.
The police statement comes amid controversy over Twitter suspending an account that tracked Musk’s private jet as well as the accounts of several journalists who cover Musk.
It appeared that the suspended accounts could still participate in Twitter Spaces, as several of the banned journalists discussed the news in a live audio chat room Thursday night. Musk joined briefly to confirm that posting a link to a page that provided real-time location tracking, such as @ElonJet, was “ban evasion” and no different from directly posting live locations.
“You show the link to real-time information, ban evasion,” Musk said. “You dox, you get suspended, end of story, that’s it.” Musk’s apparent connection of the reporters’ suspensions to doxxing drew swift criticism as people pointed out that the reporters did not share any location data or provide real-time tracking.
