Does Twitter blocking Mastodon links constitute anticompetitive behavior against a nascent rival? I asked a couple of legal experts, including Bill Baer, the former antitrust chief at DOJ and FTC in two US administrations. Here's what they say: https://t.co/UpRuyNgXiA — PolitiTweet.org

UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric says the body is "very concerned" about Twitter's journalist suspensions and adds that it sets "a dangerous precedent" amid rising threats to press freedom globally. At 39:30-ish during today's press briefing stream, here: https://t.co/FqkSQytzjI — PolitiTweet.org

European leaders are warning Musk over the journalist suspensions, with @VeraJourova pointing to regulations like the Digital Services Act and the Media Freedom Act: "There are red lines. And sanctions, soon." https://t.co/NPopHltYXG — PolitiTweet.org

Let's check in on this poll again. Looks like he's still losing and the gap continues to widen, despite the false claim in the prompt pushing for a particular outcome (and after his first poll didn't support his initial decision). Still lots of voting time left, though. https://t.co/gTRerLr4U1 — PolitiTweet.org

Wild to think that Texas and Florida laws written for reasons Musk would probably support may soon be reviewed (and potentially upheld) by the Supreme Court, which would ironically expose him to liability over just the kinds of actions he took tonight https://t.co/QD5tdo5qPC — PolitiTweet.org

Some Twitter users have reported that attempts to share Mastodon URLs now results in those links being marked as unsafe. I just tested it myself using an alt account and confirmed it — Twitter blocked me from sharing the link. https://t.co/5HMTxRVsYU — PolitiTweet.org

Some US agencies — DOD, State, DHS — have already taken steps to prohibit employees from using TikTok on work devices. This measure would apply across the entire federal workforce. There's a companion bill in the House, but it doesn't seem to have moved since introduction. — PolitiTweet.org
