This is all hearsay so take it with a grain. The issue was lack of faith in Twitter security. What I have heard is that CBS Security feels that their systems are not exposed if Twitter gets exposed so they resumed use of Twitter.
| CURRENT EVENTS Elon Musk Buys Twitter. ( "...make algorithms open source..." )

Yeah. I don't buy that. I saw the original tweet from CBS and it don't recall a mention of security. When they returned to the platform security was then an issue.
After I saw that Tweet I stumbled on reports of the Friday evening broadcast of CBS News with O'Donnell. A good amount of time was spent reporting on Twitter—I've seen no reference to a mention of CBS reporting concerns of security.
Virtue signaling, CBS style. They spent an evening reporting on rumors surrounding what's happening within Twitter headquarters, highlighting the bad, and they shot their wad.
BTW, my earlier post was meant in sarcasm. If Twitter is having security issues, they wouldn't affect CBS. I guess the CBS execs expect folks to believe if Twitter was hacked CBS was in danger...due to being on their platform?!?
It would be easier to convince me Dan Rather runs their Twitter account than to believe this was anything but virtue signaling.
I'm thinking of "transcribing" the Twitter Files in a thread this morning to make it easier to read over what's been published (versus scrolling through time lines.) I say that to say this.
I'll probably run across the Tweet I read from Mush. Until I do, paraphrasing, "it's a lot easier to fool people but it's almost impossible to convince them they've been fooled." (sic)
Any argument against the majority of those laid off were in content moderation?
It's looking arguable that a lot of them were under supervision by former FBI employees. I've seen ten, maybe twelve different names over the last few days.

Going back to an earlier discussion about security issues, read over this timeline.
Criminal conduct. No doubt. Mudge telling people NOT to inform the Board of Directors in a publicly traded corporation?!?!
As Elon tweeted the day before yesterday, "...a crime scene."

Twitter is now suspending journalists who report things critical of Musk as well as anyone posting publicly available information about the location of his plane. Just going to leave that here for you to do with as you please.
Color me surprised.
How can you be surprised about something you "couldn’t care any less" about? A "feeling of surprise" means there's an emotional investment.
One issue I have with your premise here is they are often one in the same—Olbermann is a perfect example.
What would be the purpose of these "journalists" doxxing his location?
I’m not surprised.
He’s suspended some good journalists for no reason other than they’ve been critical of him and his little feelings got hurt.
His airplane location is public information. Same as when people track planes during recruiting trips or coaching searches. He can always stop using a private plane he owns.
EDIT: He has now had Breaking911 shadow-banned and their check mark removed without notification or explanation. He is becoming the dictator I expected in all of this.
I have also seen no proof that all of the banned and suspended accounts actually DOXed him as opposed to reporting on the account that tracked his plane. HUGE difference.

That's simply not true. It's a lie you've been fed, and now are repeating.
His son was "doxxed" a few days ago which resulted in an ANTIFA member attacking the car he was in. Hell, even AOC has said she understands why the rule is in place—Musk is concerned about safety: him and his family.
It's against the TOS of Twitter to "dox" locations of anyone. They did. They were suspended just like he said they would be. It was a simple "fuck around, find out."
Good journalist? Who, and more importantly how?
Again, I go back to the question: Why did Aaron Rupar choose to dox Musk? Why did those other individuals do the same (even those who shared the link?)
That's not the whole truth; partial, at best.
Jack Sweeney has said, on more than one occasion, that the info he uses is publicly available. However, there isn't a government registry of data like his plane number, his destination, etc. It requires a little "detective work." He has to put together several, separate pieces of information to create tracking accounts.
None of that matter in the least.
It's against the terms of service on Twitter to dox someone.
These people did.
They were suspended.
It's literally that simple.
If they are sharing his real time location, he's being doxxed.
The TOS states doxxing would result in the post being deleted, accounts suspended.
I find it quite ironic Taylor Lorenz switched her account to private last night and began scrubbing posts in her timeline—among those were posts where she had doxxed people under the guise of journalism. Last night she repeated what you guys have suggested, "he did it because of criticism." He told her, "no, it was doxxing."
...and then she went down her own little rabbit hole.
There is only one logical conclusion here to the question I posed. They did this so people could harass and attempt to intimidate him and his family.
Oh it is true. O’Sullivan, Mac, and Harwell had reported recently on the banning of ElonJet, the account that posted real-time updates on the location of Musk’s private jet. But that’s far different than actually doxxing him. Not one of those three not one time gave the location of his private jet, they reported on the banning of the ElonJet account, have been critical of him, and they all work for perceived left wing media companies, that’s it.
He’s a thin skinned, petulant child. The right loves him, he’s their new hero, which is why they defend him and his actions
Here we are again.
If you're giving real time locations of an individual, you're doxxing the location of that individual. There is no gray area there.
ElonJet tracking and providing his location is for what purpose? These "reporters" doing the same is for what purpose? What's their intended end game?
I don't necessarily like Elon but I don't dislike him as well. And I'm certainly not one you can label as "on the right."
You may not see this, but he's been good for discourse because he's upset the status quo. Whether you claim to be on the right, or on the left, having someone stand up for individual rights and freedoms versus group rights is a good thing: needed.
BTW, you do know he was using (and has been) a PIA, right? That's not public information.
