Twitter is blocking users from tweeting links to many major servers for Mastodon, one of the most notable Twitter alternatives. The ban was enacted sometime during what\u2019s been a chaotic Thursday evening on the platform after journalists<\/a> and Mastodon\u2019s own account<\/a> were unexpectedly suspended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Attempting to tweet many Mastodon links will result in an error message saying, \u201cWe can\u2019t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.\u201d Twitter is currently blocking links to the original mastodon.social server and more than 10 other domains The Verge <\/em>tested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The ban on Mastodon follows the recent controversy around @ElonJet, an account that tracks the whereabouts of Twitter CEO Elon Musk\u2019s private jet. On Wednesday, Twitter suspended the @ElonJet Twitter account<\/a> and soon after suspended the personal account of the person who manages it<\/a>. Twitter also introduced a new policy that bans people from sharing live locations of another person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On Thursday, Mastodon\u2019s Twitter account was suspended, and while we don\u2019t know exactly why, the ban happened soon after the account tweeted a link to @ElonJet\u2019s page on Mastodon. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
