Thank god artists can still post their set times, was worried about freedom of speech for a second there. The new Twitter is just Elon being offended and abusing his power, then retweeting and liking single tweets that validate his current mood

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…

> He’s instigated death threats against Fauci. No he has not. In fact I bet you can't show us where he's called for anyone's death.

By Elon making the statements that he did against Fauci and claiming he should be prosecuted, by using his bullhorn he instigated the attacks against Fauci. When you are a powerful public speaker it should be that you consider more carefully what you say in public, because you can influence people to make rash judgements.

Compare this situation to when McCain responded to that woman during his presidential campaign who said something along the lines of "Obama is a scary Muslim" and McCain showed himself as a man of true honor, saying "No, he's a good man, loves his family." and maybe said something like [I disagree with him politically but he's not a dangerous threat].

It's just an obvious corollary.

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!

> Tweets that share someone else’s historical (not same-day) location information are also not prohibited by this policy.

Seems like the rules would allow journalists to share a story reporting if Elon Musk visited any Saudi creditors, but if they include the location of the meeting in their reporting then they wouldn’t be allowed to post it on Twitter until after the meeting.

“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.

Reading the thread shows that this is explicitly allowed: > "You can still share your own live location on Twitter."

My wording also shares the location of the performer. As the policy states, that information being otherwise public doesn’t matter.

Is Twitter actually working now? I get nothing but errors from the iOS app and the web.

Edit: figured it out - content filter on the wifi I was using was filtering out some but not all Twitter URLs. It’s always DNS, I should know better.

No they didn't. Or if they did they banned it again after their new figleaf rules were enacted. You can't make this up, what a mess.

They banned it again about 8 minutes ago. I was scrolling through the linked thread when it got suspended and the tweets disappeared.

He should make up his mind about this 'free speech' thing and then stick to whatever decision he comes up with for at least a couple of months. This is beyond silly.

"This tweet is from a suspended account" Bug or banned? In modern twitter, who knows?! Meanwhile, half the bots I've blocked still show up in my news feed (when it loads and I check, both of which have diminished greatly in the past few weeks)

It been unbanned for about an hour and then banned again.

Unfortunately I can no longer edit the title.
