Publicly available information is... publicly available information. Singling out public information and publishing it to single out one person when there are safety and security implications is crossing the line distinctly into what we call doxxing. Just curious, how long have you been on the internet? Would you like an account like this to exist tracking everything you do?

Thank you, well put. It's like everyone's incredible amount of hate towards Elon is blinding them to the human aspect of this. Never seen such overwhelming support for a doxxing account. Let's not forget to be humans guys.

  I do not find it well put because it is moving the goal-post. Topic is not if the account is ethical or if it is right to ban account like this. Point is about banning it from the position of 'free speech absolutist'. Free speech absolutists wants to ensure freedom of express also for things that could be considered as unethical.

    All the kid had to do was make it a little more general, a little less targeted. Nobody is moving goalposts except for folks like you.

  You know what really makes it hilarious? All this kid had to do was do a little more work: Track more celebrities and top dollar folks. Make it general. Maybe they'd converge on him, but at least Elon wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Instead this kid does minimal work, it goes viral, and everyone is crying about it. Pathetic. I'm loving the selective memories so many folks have here, acting as though they are remotely consistent with application of ethics.

  Elon LITERALLY TWEETED that what this account was doing was free speech and would not be banned.
  - 40four 4y ago
    In the SAME TWEET, he admitted it's a direct threat to his personal safety. Why is that something that's not okay to change your mind on? Are you arguing that his life on a day to day basis should be put in more danger is okay, in the name of some dumb ass doxxing twitter account?

      This dude changes his mind every day. In what world is that how you should run a $44b company? This isn’t what he said he would do when he bought Twitter. Aren’t you upset that he straying so far from his promises?

A part of your analysis left out is that Elon is a public figure. Is poparazzi photography doxxing? Is the White House press corp doxxing?
- 40four 4y ago
  Paparazzi is certainly doxxing. White house press corps, definitely not, not sure how that's comparable. ElonJet? 100% doxxing, and I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise.

«tracking everything you do» It's quite an hyperbole to go from "tracking what city you airplane lands it" to "tracking everything you do"

  You haven't answered the question regardless of the hyperbole. This would bother anyone, rich, poor, doesn't matter.

I wouldn't mind an account tracking my private plane tbh. I would probably never use it anyway.
