It's a pretty clear-cut policy violation:
https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-information https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-info...
> Our primary aim is to protect individuals from potential physical harm as a result of their information being shared, so we consider information such as physical location and phone numbers to be a higher risk than other types of information.
> Under this policy, you can’t share the following types of private information, without the permission of the person who it belongs to....home address or physical location information
So Elon essentially gave permission, and now he has revoked it.
The difficulty those on the other-side of this argument have is that they themselves are not arguing that this shouldn't be the policy, and that this "doxing" behavior is not wrong. In fact, no one is.
There is not a single person claiming free speech is being violated here. There is not any kind of movement or group that is campaigning for doxing of location information as a right.
Essentially, people are saying: you are not allowing the things that no one thinks should be allowed anyway.
- eatsyourtacos 4y ago>following types of private information Except it's not private information.. it's all public information. And it's only his "location" when he is in the plane.
- erlich 4y agoIf someone is walking in the street next to you, and tracks you with GPS, and publishes this data, this is public information too by that standard? I think you should read up more on doxing.
- eatsyourtacos 4y agoLol that is nothing at all the same. First of all.. you realize we are talking about GPS of a plane. So yes, you know where they are in the air, and then you know what city they landed in. That's it. You know the city. Whoopdydoo. It's not like someone is pushing out Musk's position at every point on the ground. But you are comparing public air traffic GPS to someone walking next to me and specifically giving my location at every point? Those aren't the same thing.. at all. I think you are the one that has to read up on doxing. And anyway, don't even bother replying with more of your silly examples. Plane GPS data is public information. End of story.
