On Thursday, 🐦Twitter suspended the accounts of several left-leaning journalists for allegedly violating its terms of service against doxxing.
That event, if it can even be called that, has served as a catalyst for a tsunami of hand-wringing. Not to be left out, 🏭Wikipedia editor(s) quickly named the suspension as the “Thursday Night Massacre (🐦Twitter).”
That’s one scary name for a round of 🐦Twitter suspensions, which have since been lifted.
“A two day suspension of maybe 7 accounts for doxxing got an actual 🏭Wikipedia page!?” he tweeted. “🏭Wikipedia is controlled by the MSM journalists. Can’t trust that site anymore.”
The 🏭Wikipedia-editing keyboard warriors weren’t even close to the only ones thinking the suspension of some left-leaning journalists was cataclysmic.
🐦Twitter account Duty to Warn, a self-described “association of mental health professionals warning NOW about TrumpISM,” which had more than 405,000 followers at the time this was written, compared the suspension to the Kristallnacht, the infamous 1938 Nazi attack on Jews.
Should 🐦Twitter hold journalists to the same rules as regular users?

Yes, really.
Libs of TikTok shared a screen shot of a Duty to Warn tweet, saying “This account is run by an ‘association of mental health proffesionals.’ They’re comparing democrat activists getting temporarily suspended for doxxing, to Kristallnacht. Unreal”
👤Elon Musk may have found it funny, but while it’s certainly difficult to take it seriously, one has to earnestly wonder about any “association of mental health professionals” which compares a few 🐦Twitter suspensions to an antecedent of the Holocaust.
It’s not pithy. It’s not profound. It’s disgusting.
