On Thursday evening, Twitter suddenly suspended several high-profile journalists who cover the platform and Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world, who acquired the company just a few months ago. This has also led to the Eu threatening Musk with sanctions. EU commissioner Vera Jourova said the EU’s new Digital Services Act requires “the respect of media freedom.” The German Foreign Office also warned Twitter that “press freedom cannot be switched on and off on a whim.”
