[Air-L] Twitter Journalist Suspensions

[Dr. Emma Briant]

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
