We recognize that certain social media platforms provide alternative experiences to Twitter, and allow users to post content to Twitter from these platforms. In general, any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even from the prohibited sites listed above. Additionally, we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms.

It will take action against users who try to get around this policy by cloaking URLs to other platforms or "spelling out "dot" for social media platforms that use '.' in the names to avoid URL creation.
Users can't post links to Mastodon on the platform. If you try to send a link to a Mastodon server or the site itself, you will get an error message saying that the link is potentially harmful.

The suspension of several journalists, including CNN's Donie O' Sullivan and The New York Times' Ryan Mac, came after they wrote about the location of the billionaire's private jet on the social networking site. According to Musk, the journalists "doxed" his location, and later had a policy that banned "live location information" and links to third-party websites. While Musk later reinstated most of the banned accounts after polling users on whether or not they should, he briefly suspended The Washington Post reporter.
