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

I wonder how does Elon expect any journalist to follow these rules? Big chunk of information from press is reporting on public figures location and sometimes this include reporting in real time.

"Content that shares location information related to a public engagement or event, such as a concert or political event, is also permitted."

Where is the Mastodon or RSS feed with live data?

The fell back to using Facebook earlier today facepalm

They didn't "fall back" to Facebook. ElonJet has been on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and Truth Social this entire time. And as of 7 hours ago Mastodon.social as well. [1]

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. * https://twitter.com/dataracer117/status/1519167734910619649?...

He’s instigated death threats against Fauci. No one asked either of them to be public figures. They can go away whenever they want. Their status is not an immutable law of reality and humanity tends to have a history of not giving a toss about being helicoptered by self aggrandizing individuals. The data is available real time by law elsewhere. He’s not routing around anything, just trying to insulate himself from co…

No he has not. In fact I bet you can't show us where he's called for anyone's death.

"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.

Landing at an airport is a public event

It happens in public, but it isn’t a ‘public event’ by any reasonable interpretation unless Elon encourages people to come see him disembark the plane.

The new Twitter is just Elon being offended and abusing his power, then retweeting and liking single tweets that validate his current mood

According to these rules journalists are no longer allowed to publicly share information about Elon going to visit his Saudi creditors since it's wont be public event. Nice!

Meanwhile all the Elon Musk jet stories are disappearing fast from the front page. The main one with over 1k comments and points survived only 6 hours.

I noticed that too - the one I clicked on was in the top 5, and minutes later it was on page 3.
