You just don't bother reading things do you?

I said clearly, I think the suppression of journalists is a problem (I'll link you up if you want) Ergo, I do not agree with him banning them for annoying him. I won't pretend it wasn't a bit entertaining, but I'm glad the bans were lifted quickly.

I do not agree with any journalist being banned or shadow banned or whatever it's called. There's no hypocrisy.

The live location thing is another matter. That I don't agree with. No one should be stalked like that. The journalists all know the rules now.

What I did say was, it seems that it's considered more of a problem now than it was pre Musk Twitter when many journalists stories were being suppressed by the platform, as has recently been detailed in great length all over the place.
