Journalist faces month-long ban on X after debunking Elon Musk sock puppet claims

A journalist, Jacqueline Sweet, has reportedly been banned from X for a month after debunking rumors that Elon Musk was using a fake account to defend himself. Her article revealed that the account in question belonged to a real person in Fiji. Musk's response included a post claiming, "I am Adrian Dittman," which seemed to contradict Sweet's findings. Following her report, links to her article were restricted on X, with a warning stating they may be unsafe. Sweet expressed disappointment over the censorship, stating her reporting was balanced and in the public interest. Critics have accused Musk of restricting content that he finds unfavorable, despite his claims of supporting free speech.
