I gained some notoriety in the Twin Cities, where I had a very fun gig as the digital reporter for the City Pages in Minneapolis from to , but I didn't have a social media platform to speak of until I started posting video clips to Twitter in the fall of At that time I had about 5, Twitter followers.

With a blizzard in the Twin Cities closing day care on Thursday, Aaron Rupar was keeping an eye on his 7-month-old when he got a rush of texts from friends asking why he was suddenly banned on Twitter. After speaking with a Daily Beast reporter looking into the suspension, he started to figure it out. Twitter displayed a message stating that users cannot post the link, similar to the message in blocking users from sharing a New York Post story on Hunter Biden. Media outlets have taken the bans seriously. For independent reporters, a suspension, if permanent, would be a significant blow. After learning he was barred, Rupar said he found the contact of someone at Twitter who told him that the suspension was temporary and that the company is now determining how long his account will be offline.

By Ellise Shafer. Twitter suspended the accounts of several high-profile journalists who cover Elon Musk on Thursday night, including Keith Olbermann and Aaron Rupar. The Washington Post reported that many of the journalists had written about Musk banning the ElonJet account on Wednesday that tracked the movements of his private jet and had also been critical of Musk on Twitter. Some of the journalists had tweeted a link to the tracking account on Twitter rival Mastodon Social. Olbermann confirmed to Variety that he was first suspended — then permanently suspended — from Twitter and shared that his last tweets were in support of other banned journalists. We have asked Twitter for an explanation, and we will reevaluate our relationship based on that response. The jet-tracking bot was created by Florida college student Jack Sweeney , whose own personal Twitter account has also been suspended. Todd Spangler contributed to this report. Home Digital News.
