Who was the opposite side who were shutting down journalists?

The Twitter of yore shutting down conservatives and other such "controversial" opinions. I don't care much for bipartisan politics, but the partisan bias in all this is palpable, as is a "the tables have turned and we don't like it so we revert to general principles we pissed on before" vibe ...

It's also comic: pundits pissing on free speech (tons of cheering when people were cancelled before, and lots of articles on how it's justified and free speech is not the be all end-all) making a u-turn to call for free speech and condemn Musk's account shutdowns now, while Musk and co that was defending free-speech before is now censoring accounts, while the "free speech" proponents in the previous round are now cheering him for it...

Again, what journalists were censored? And for what reason?

The bad ones. For good reasons of course! How could it be any other way?

So you don't actually have any examples.

Yeah, that must be the reason. Everybody can sleep well.
