hardly surprising given elon’s descent into far-right and reactionary politics—bellingcat in particular is a magnet for this sort of selective targeting because its reporting is inconvenient to a lot of political dogmatists.

(ironically, this also means elon has some common cause with a subset of Twitter’s “far-left” and “anticolonialist” cranks, some of whom are vehement defenders of Bashar al-Assad and think bellingcat is some sort of CIA-backed, pro-regime change front for believing chemical weapons were used on Syrian civilians)

Maybe an action by Elon I-am-a-free-speech-absolutist-as-long-as-you-do-not-say-something-which-is-against-my-interests Musk?

@Hirom Welp, thank god they’re already on a place where this is not an issue. @Bellingcat is alive and kicking
