Vancouver council has just voted in a private meeting to end the policy requiring them to pay all employees and contractors the Living Wage rate.

ICYMI: a journalist at @theintercept, @kenklippenstein, has been slapped with a Search Suggestion Ban after sharing surveillance footage of a multi-car pileup caused by a self driving Tesla. I wonder if Ken's colleague and Twitter Files author @lhfang will ask Elon about this.

So @joinmastodon has been suspended. Is there a chronological list of accounts that Elon freedom-of-speech Musk has suspended since he took over?
