Twitter suspends accounts of several journalists covering Musk, his company

Twitter has abruptly suspended the accounts of several high-profile journalists who cover the social media platform and Elon Musk, who acquired the company in October. The accounts of Ryan Mac of The New York Times, Donie O'Sullivan of CNN, Drew Harwell of The Washington Post, Matt Binder of Mashable, Micah Lee of The Intercept, Steve Herman of Voice of America, and independent journalists Aaron Rupar, Keith Olbermann as well as Tony Webster had all been suspended as of Thursday evening, CNN reported. The journalists, however, found a backdoor way onto the platform through the website's audio function, and hours later of suspension faced off with Musk in a Twitter Space audio discussion before an audience of more than 30,000 listeners. You doxx, you get suspended. End of story. That's it, Musk said to one of the suspended journalists, explaining his latest policy to the group before he left minutes after having joined the discussion. Musk was referring to Twitter's latest rule chan

Elon Musk's Twitter tweaks may lead to EU showdown over tough new rules

Self-proclaimed free speech warrior Elon Musk's more unfettered version of Twitter could collide with new rules in Europe, where officials warn that the social media company will have to comply with some of the world's toughest laws targeting toxic content. While the new digital rulebook means the European Union is likely to be a global leader in cracking down on Musk's reimagined platform, the 27-nation bloc will face its own challenges forcing Twitter and other online companies to comply. The law doesn't fully take effect until 2024, and EU officials are scrambling to recruit enough workers to hold Big Tech to account. Known as the Digital Services Act, the EU's sweeping set of rules aims to make platforms and search engines more accountable for illegal and harmful content including hate speech, scams and disinformation. They'll kick in next summer for the biggest digital companies like Google, Facebook and TikTok and then expand to all online services the following year. Those ..

Elon Musk sells another $3.58 bn worth of Tesla stock, purpose unknown

Elon Musk sold another USD 3.58 billion worth of Tesla stock this week, but it wasn't clear where the proceeds were being spent. The Tesla CEO, and new owner of Twitter, sold the shares from Monday through Wednesday, according to a filing posted Wednesday night by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Musk has sold nearly USD 23 billion worth of Tesla stock since April, with much of the money likely going to help fund his USD 44 billion acquisition of Twitter. The sale comes as shares of the electric vehicle and solar panel maker have collapsed, losing over half their value since Musk first disclosed in April that he was buying up Twitter stock. The falling shares have bumped Musk from his status as the world's wealthiest person, with his net worth falling to USD 174 billion, according to Forbes. He was passed last week by French fashion and cosmetics magnate Bernard Arnault. The takeover of Twitter has not been smooth, and some big companies have halted advertising on the s

Elon Musk's Twitter disbands its 100-member Trust and Safety advisory group

Elon Musk's Twitter has dissolved its Trust and Safety Council, the advisory group of around 100 independent civil, human rights and other organisations that the company formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform. The council had been scheduled to meet with Twitter representatives Monday night. But Twitter informed the group via email that it was disbanding it shortly before the meeting was to take place, according to multiple members. The council members, who provided images of the email from Twitter to The Associated Press, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fears of retaliation. Our work to make Twitter a safe, informative place will be moving faster and more aggressively than ever before and we will continue to welcome your ideas going forward about how to achieve this goal, said the email, which was signed Twitter. The volunteer group provided expertise and guidance on how Twitter could better combat

Central Secretariat Service officers take to Twitter over non-promotion

The CSS Forum, an association of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) officers, on Tuesday took to Twitter over non-promotion of their members. The posts of Section Officers (SOs) have become vacant on a large scale in the CSS, one of the members of the association said. "Out of 3,640 sanctioned posts for Section Officer in the central secretariat, 1,624 are vacant (that is about 45 per cent). Despite the availability of sufficient number of qualified officers, the vacant posts are not being filled even through promotion," the officer said. "Thousands of people are requesting for promotion of eligible ASOs (Assistant Section Officers) of CSS and filling up of 1600+ vacancies in SO grade. CSS Forum requests @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh and @DoPTGoI to immediately look into the issue," the CSS Forum tweeted. The Twitter campaign (#CSSASO2013) was also trending on the micro-blogging site, the CSS officer said. The officers' body decided to take out a 'Unity March' on 'Kartavya Path' here

Twitter relaunching subscriber service after previous month's debacle

Twitter is once again attempting to launch its premium service, a month after a previous attempt failed. The social media company said Saturday it would let users buy subscriptions to Twitter Blue to get a blue checkmark and access special features starting Monday. The blue checkmark was originally given to companies, celebrities, government entities and journalists verified by the platform. After Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, he launched a service granting blue checks to anyone willing to pay $8 a month. But it was inundated by imposter accounts, including those impersonating Musk's businesses Tesla and SpaceX, so Twitter suspended the service days after its launch. The relaunched service will cost $8 a month for web users and $11 a month for iPhone users. Twitter says subscribers will see fewer ads, be able to post longer videos and have their tweets featured more prominently.
