Elon Musk restores Twitter accounts of journalists after suspensions draw backlash

14 Sept 01:59 Key points summarised by AI

Elon Musk reinstated the Twitter accounts of several journalists who were suspended for a day, reversing a decision that drew widespread global condemnation.
The suspensions originated from the journalists' sharing of publicly available data regarding the tracking of Musk's private jet, which he controversially deemed 'doxxing' and a violation of Twitter's updated privacy policy.
Musk's action faced intense criticism from government officials, advocacy groups, and journalism organizations worldwide, with many citing concerns over press freedom and the inconsistency with his self-proclaimed 'free speech absolutist' stance.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
