CBS News resumes Twitter activity after brief halt over Musk concerns

Source: The Hill

CBS News announced on Sunday it will resume its Twitter activity after halting it for part of the weekend to assess “uncertainty” under new CEO Elon Musk.

“After pausing for much of the weekend to assess the security concerns, CBS News and Stations is resuming its activity on Twitter as we continue to monitor the situation,” the network wrote on the platform.

The network’s various accounts stopped posting tweets late on Friday, hours after Musk’s deadline for employees to either commit to a “hardcore” work environment or accept severance and leave the company.

The ultimatum led an estimated 1,200 employees to depart on Thursday, according to The New York Times, which came after Musk laid off about half of Twitter’s workforce, which included roughly 7,500 employees when he formally took over the company.

Twitter is no more of a security risk than Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or Amazon app.

We'll see many, many permutations of this headline:

______________ resumes Twitter activity after brief halt over Musk concerns.

Let's see how many of these thirsty, self-important twitterati can actually walk away.
