Elon Musk's Twitter suspension of journalists draws global backlash

Twitter's unprecedented suspension of at least five journalists over claims they revealed the real-time location of owner Elon Musk drew swift backlash from government officials, advocacy groups and journalism organizations across the globe on Friday, Qazet.az reports.

In a 24-hour poll later by Musk on Twitter on whether to restore the journalists' accounts, 58.7% votes were in favor of restoring them immediately.

The accounts were still suspended approximately 15 minutes after the poll closed, a check by Reuters showed.
