We shouldn’t reward journalists for finding out things the government doesn’t want known. Not an unusual position for a politician to hold. Not a great one to hold in a democracy, mind you.
Here’s my view: I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever. So I say bring him back. If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of the team, fire him for that.

Before the days of the internet, social media, and the Attention Economy, our QAnon pal would have been at the end of the bar, pissing off only those next to him. Now we get this metastasising nonsense. Progress, amirite?
This viral thread by a QAnon promoter has over 10 million views, huge engagenemt and no community note. But it's total nonsense. The thread is copied from a fake E! News video created by a Russian influence operation that imitates major news outlets to disparage Ukraine.
