Dear Colleagues, Further to the discussion about take-downs of journalists by Twitter I just wanted to share some reporting I helped inform today, which examines differential tweetment (sorry) of pro-Russia/right wing journalists violating platform rules.

Dear Colleagues,
I’m sure all will agree that the mass censorship of, I think now 11 journalists from major news organisations today by Elon Musk is incredibly disturbing. I am wondering how one deletes all one’s tweets? Anyone know? I’m considering doing this but leaving my account as a placeholder, so I am not leaving that data there, and removing myself at this point from the platform. I was hoping not to do this, given that I network in Twitter for my research on propaganda and develop contacts. But this obviously crosses such a line. People need to push back somehow not just move to mastodon , but I’m honestly not sure how. I’m trying to process the implications and wondered other’s thoughts on this latest development.
Thanks, Emma -- Dr Emma L Briant
