X censors Arlington incident story

Coverage of a damning altercation between Donald Trump’s campaign and staff at the Arlington National Cemetery was briefly censored by Elon Musk’s X on Thursday morning, amplifying concerns surrounding the platform’s role in burying anti-Trump content, as its owner embraces the candidate.

An article, which ran on NPR with the headline “Army says Arlington National Cemetery worker was 'pushed aside' by Trump aides,” contains a statement from the Army condemning the Trump campaign for its actions, later flagged with a warning from X reading, “this article may be unsafe,” per a screenshot circulating on the platform.
