he Left-Wing Journalists Elon Musk Suspended From Twitter Got What They Deserved
The Federalist ^ | 16 dec 2022 | John Daniel Davidson

There can be only one reason to promote or retweet real-time location information about a person or their family: You hope something bad happens to them. You hope someone acts on it. In this case, these reporters were amplifying a Twitter account that was posting location data about Musk’s private jet, and doing so on the heels of a disturbing incident in Los Angeles involving a stalker targeting a car that was carrying Musk’s toddler son.

In other words, the media elite who for years absurdly claimed that “speech is violence” actually engaged in the promotion of violence and got caught doing it — and we’re supposed to feel bad for them? I don’t think so.

Media leftists who for years have demanded online censorship of conservatives, don’t care at all about free speech, and in fact actively work to quash it however they can are suddenly alarmed at Musk silencing their own?

To quote Sen. Tom Cotton’s recent remark to the woke CEO of Kroger, a company that fired Christian employees for not endorsing the grocery chain’s LGBT advocacy but now wants Republican help with a proposed merger: “I’m sorry that’s happening to you. Best of luck.”

Ben Collins has been suspended by NBC News for criticism of @elonmusk that was "not editorially appropriate"

@greg_price11

That wasn't Musk that suspended him - that was NBC news.

These lefties are getting so far out there, their own MSM employers can't deal with it.

Targeting your family for assassination could be considered a valid reason for suspension.

Whenever the guy who owns the platform you do it on says it is. Musk rules may not apply elsewhere.

Legal action is an entirely different thing, and civil standards are different then criminal (which may not even apply).

When it exceeds the amount of PII the individual has willingly released?

If I were to publicly associate your screen name "ASOC" with your real-world name, JimRob would be well within his rights to sanction me for it. IMO.

Freedom of the press is strictly for those who own one.

How about a good old fashioned ruining of their lives, like actual unemployment, homelessness, their families and friends cutting off contact and their assets revoked.

Elon should release a team of lawyers and hitmen on the doxxers that went after his family.

Thank you, Elon Musk, for buying Twitter and making its criminals accountable for their despicable actions.

Left wing journalists did not get what they deserved.
They conduct campaigns to doxx Musk and others , putting lives at risk.

These are espionage agents of the left who pose as journalists.

At the very least they each deserved a profound whipping and a few good punches to their noses.

Suspension from Twitter? Meh! not enough pay back IMHO.
