ElonJet: Violating the Privacy of Celebrities Is Not Free Speech
- smoldesu 4y agoYou've gotten this horribly mixed up, IMO. Violating the privacy of celebrities is free speech, as long as it isn't illegal (eg. lies or libel). The paparazzi has ran this shtick for years, and not once do they end up behind bars. The real kicker is that Elon Musk has zero obligation to cater to free speech. Nobody running Twitter does. They can remove whatever accounts they want with impunity, and this time they chose some random dude's plane API. Treating this like a "violation" of anything is the wrong way to look at it.
