Musk’s X blocks links to JD Vance dossier and suspends journalist who posted it
X says it suspended reporter for "posting unredacted personal information."

1 0 ReplyWho even uses Twitter anymore? I stopped browsing it more than a year ago after they borked the public API so it's not usable any longer. I'm not signing up just to browse tweets, F that.
