Just hours after suspending several notable journalists’ accounts for violating Twitter’s new doxxing rules, Elon Musk has posted a poll asking if he should backtrack his move.
What Happened: Late on Thursday, Musk posted a Twitter poll asking if he should “unsuspend accounts” that doxxed his exact location in real-time.
From the final result, 43% of people voted yes to immediately restoring the accounts, while a little over 38% voted for prolonged suspension.

Musk clarified that the current suspension would last for seven days.
7 day suspension for doxxing. Some time away from Twitter is good for the soul …

The billionaire entrepreneur later reposted the poll with only two options. It received more than 226,000 votes as of 11:50 p.m. ET, with over half saying the suspensions should be revoked immediately.

Why It’s Important: Musk-led Twitter on Thursday suspended the account of the rival platform Mastodon after it had seemingly promoted a link to an account that tracked his private Jet.
The new doxxing rules were enforced after Musk’s son X’s vehicle was followed by a “crazy stalker” who jumped on the car’s hood.
