Quoted post unavailable.

He's being inundated with explicit death threats even more than usual, and usual is a lot*. Leaving the Twitter account up, and those like it, but delaying data by 24 hours is a sensible compromise and the policy applies to everyone's physical safety.

This appears to be the new policy: https://twitter.com/TwitterSafety/status/1603165959669354496

“live location information, including information shared on Twitter directly or links to 3rd-party URL(s) of travel routes, actual physical location, or other identifying information that would reveal a person’s location, regardless if this information is publicly available”

This makes “I am at watching ” a violation.

I am fully expecting this thread to be swarmed by HN users claiming this is a righteous upholding of principals and Elon Musk is a pure man free of hypocrisy, with only the thickest skin. Wont stop me from being mad about it, though.

I honestly find it impossible for anyone to defend this self-serving behaviour.

"Content that shares location information related to a public engagement or event, such as a concert or political event, is also permitted." Literally the next sentence in the thread linked.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

A plane taking off is a public event, and that statement isn’t in the actual policy linked.
