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.

Boohoo. Elon Musk got a few dozen death threats. Everyone he targets his army at gets thousands of death threats each. And Elon has a very, very, long list of past targets. If Elon wants the death threats to stop he should stop instigating them against others.

He has never done so. Point me to a single tweet where he called for death threats against anyone. You can't, yet you defend literal death threats just because you don't like the target.

Elon have an army of followers with size of multiple 4chan's and some of them are obviously less stable than others. He is aware of this fact and over years he did not act responsible about it.

Also he is protected by an army of lawyers so he can smoke some weed and tweet that he thinks that you @memish is a pedophile or Hunter Biden friend or MAGA supporter or whatever. And you'll get tons of death treats as result.

The emphasis on safety for Fauci's family while simultaneously dismantling community safety rules on Twitter is pretty disconcerting. Prosecute really is a wannabe feudal lord.

EDIT: Updated to include Elon's preferred pronouns.

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

How about the prosecute tweet?

If your response is that it doesn't qualify, neither does reporting information about his private jet.

The leson here is more general - having a platform should be seen as a big responsibility where great care must be taken to prevent one's actions from having unintended consequences.

Countless literal death threats didn't do it. https://twitter.com/dataracer117/status/1519167734910619649?... But when it starts getting that close to kids, maybe you'd start to take it more seriously too.

Lolol, come on, "can I tweet "kill Elon musk" yet" is the saddest excuse of a "death threat" I've ever seen.

I don’t think it’s crazy for Twitter to ban stuff like this. The damning part is just that it explicitly goes against the stuff Musk has repeatedly said!

It's definitely hard to figure out the logic where it's OK to ban someone for posting plane data because it might be misused for dangerous while it's bad evil censorship to ban the President while he's actively trying to overturn the results of a lawful election.

Contesting the results of an election is entirely different to publishing location data with the intent to cause physical harm.

Disputing election results is also part of the democratic process, even if you disagree with it, and should be encouraged. There is nothing in the public interesting concerned with stalking people.

Could be true, could be a convenient lie. It's not like Elon is above the trust thermocline anymore.
