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.
It's public information. Are you literally trying to ban the ADS system?

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."
"an arrangement to do something or go somewhere at a fixed time."

> to delay news of certain travel That does not sound unreasonable to me at all. In other words, the idea that some posts might warrant a delay for a range of issues or to allow for investigation. That, to me, again, sounds very sensible. In the case of the travel plans of certain high-profile people, you know, with so many crazy folks out there, yes, sure, give the news enough of a delay so the person can safely get…
All billionaires should be tracked 100% of the time.

wait so you're saying doxing is on the same level as dissenting the government? one thing is broadcasting personal information about a citizen, one is protecting a citizens right to object to actions by their government. collecting public information is still doxxing. most doxxing involves only public information as it happens across the internet. edit: a downvote is not a rebuttal, sorry, try again.
When he is crowing with #TwitterFiles faux leaks about how an internal cabal were making policy decisions about banning people, then making an extra-policy decision banning something he didn't like (posting public information) and then trying to backport policy for it.. The whole thing rings a bit hollow.

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.
In general I'm an Elon fan but it's funny watching him kinda learn why things are the way they are. He supported it in theory until he learned that it could affect not just him but his family.

I honestly find it impossible for anyone to defend this self-serving behaviour.
Actually, the new policy against live-tweeting people's whereabouts (with the obvious exceptions) and enforcement of a 24h delay would have been pretty easy to defend, had it preceded the account suspension rather than the other way around.
It's trying to be both ban-everything-elon-dislikes while letting Elon claim Twitter is a full free speech zone that makes it entertaining. Trying to make rules around how Elon is feeling that day, and probably how high he is at the time of the pronouncement is always going to make for ridiculous results
Elon posted some info[0] that gives it some context: "Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood. Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family." Make that what you will. [0]: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603190155107794944
Looks like they took down other accounts in violation of the new policy:
