Twitters relevant policy:
“Private information: You may not publish or post other people's private information (such as home phone number and address) without their express authorization and permission. We also prohibit threatening to expose private information or incentivizing others to do so. Learn more.”
Now.. his fight information is technically “public” but in that same sense, phone numbers and street addresses are also “public”. Thus, a suspension to the flight tracking account seems in alignment with Twitter policy.
Elon claimed he would not “ban” the account. And he has not done so. They were suspended.
Okay edit lol: I _actually_ didn't know that "Suspended" is the equivalent to "Permanently Suspended" aka"Banned" on twitter. Shocking, I know. I walk back my second statement.
- MisterBastahrd 4y agoAre you unaware that when an account is banned on twitter, it is "permanently suspended?" Seriously, I'm trying to be charitable here.
- ptato 4y ago> Elon claimed he would not “ban” the account. And he has not done so. They were suspended. So the argument is that the word he used is different?
- drooby 4y agoThe words are different because the actions are different.. Ban does not equal suspend. But ehh.. to be fair. It looks like Twitter still does do permanent suspensions… idk how this is different than a ban. So, if this is a “permanent suspension”.. then sure, it’s essentially the same thing and I would concede my point… but we don’t know.
- Cthulhu_ 4y ago> Elon claimed he would not “ban” the account. And he has not done so. They were suspended. That's just nitpicking. the ElonJet account didn't "violate Musk's privacy", it just "republished tracker information".
- drooby 4y ago“Republished tracker information” Lol wow.. that’s a cutesy way of saying something super creepy. Talk about Orewellian
- breakingcups 4y agoExplain to me the difference between an indefinite suspension and a ban please.
- sroussey 4y agoThey broke all these rules when releasing “the Twitter files”
- cmauniada 4y agoI can’t tell if you are trolling or actually that delusional. Either way, this information is public. Semantics around banning or suspending pretty much work out to the same. If you are trolling congrats, I took your bait. It’s a slow Wednesday here in Colombia.
- saboot 4y agoThis is the definition of Orwellian, what a bizarre way to defend this.

- p0pcult 4y ago>after releasing damning evidence of corruption and collusion in the highest echelons of government and industry When did he do this? He released cherry picked anecdata that supports his priors, proving literally nothint.
- meepmorp 4y agoeven the cherrypicked stuff he did release is a nothingburger
