Newsrooms are scrambling to counter Elon Musk's bans
Source: Semafor
On Thursday, Twitter suspended CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, the New York Times’ Ryan Mac, and the Washington Post’s Drew Harwell, as well as liberal commentator Keith Olbermann and reporters from Mashable and the Intercept.

News organizations have also discussed dropping out of the Amplify program, in which they post videos to twitter and share in the revenue, or simply asking their staffers to stop contributing to the service.

(169,352 posts)When I worked at my college radio station many years ago, our station had an AP sub and the printouts would include their news (national & international)/business/sports feeds as well as the schedule (with the topic and content time) for their radio reports so we could be ready with a cart to record the audio feed at the noted times.

Between the Tesla pressures and an actual effective SM network similar, he would certainly come down. Maybe even go broke as bills come due.

Yes, the public don't get the chance to reply, but it works well for people who want to get notifications of the latest articles, or blog posts, from known sources.

(10,960 posts)Mainly because they were so stupidly efficient. I kept all kinds of things in my reader, and it was an easy way to spend 5-10 minutes catching up on everything of interest in one place.
I stopped using them when I started phasing out blogs from my daily reads. Now I'm curious if . . .

It may live on as Truth Social Legacy Lite, but competitors will rush in to fill the void as they have been doing. This is just too twisted to continue. Tass and Pravda had nothing on this guy.
