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.

Well so long as it's no longer the government asking him to censor things that aren't illegal and ban people they don't like, it's a private company so I don't see what the problem is.

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

This feels like tweeting something like "hanging out with at " is now a bannable offense? Am I missing something?

If that person didn't want their location shared, they should be able to request the tweet be deleted. Multiple offenses against your account? I'd say yes, bannable.

We constantly hear about how the most mundane criticism on social media is inflicting harm, and words are violence and stochastic terrorism, and ChatGPT needs baby guardrails, but when there are literal death threats (https://twitter.com/dataracer117/status/1519167734910619649) and physical proximity to kids (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603190155107794944) the very same people are suddenly dismissing any possible harm.

What's going on?

legal asked us to ban it again after they learned elon's goal. which was to shadownban-2.0 the account when needed to delay news of certain travel. he came up with the idea when we pointed out other smaller accounts started to post the info and we were considering flagging them as bot last week.

wait this is wild, so much for free speech 2.0

The idea that this is somehow doxxing is beyond ridiculous. It's public data thaat anyone can read on a website (eg flightradar) or pick up themselves with a cheap receiver. That system is ADS-B. Knowing your plane (and not necessarily you) is at 37,000 feet above Iowa only represents a threat to someone with a serious SAM capability or interceptor jets. Or even that it's at LAX. Think about this: we know where Air F…

Just because public data is available doesn't mean it can't be weaponized against you. I'm sure there would be a huge outrage if someone started publicly posting ALPR data and you could track people by their license plate.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

He said in multiple tweets theres still rules particularly with direct harm to people. Idk why you would think doxxing and tracking someones location (which in this case they stalked his family) would be ok. I feel like this is just a talking point even though you and others know better but just dont like Musk. If thats the case just say it.

The location of his jet is public info you can get from the FAA site. Posting it to Twitter is not doxxing.

Did Legal also tell you to disseminate said information to the public with your rando character handle account made 20 minutes ago?
