Twitter suspended a number of prominent journalists on the platform without warning or explanation. The situation followed the company's decision to suspend the Twitter account belonging to Mastodon, an open source social media alternative.
It's not immediately clear if the two situations are connected, but at least some of the accounts suspended had shared screenshots and observations about Mastodon's suspension. Just prior to his suspension, Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell tweeted about Mastodon being kicked off the platform.Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, The New York Times' Ryan Mac, CNN's Donie O'Sullivan, Mashable's Matt Binder, and journalist Aaron Rupar were also suspended Thursday evening.
TechCrunch asked Twitter's new head of trust and safety for comment on the situation and will update this story if we hear back.
