The owner of the ElonJet account published those leaked communications, and that account hasn’t been suspended, so there’s some inconsistency there. Zoe Schiffer, who has published many Twitter leaks this month, has not been suspended. It would be useful if Musk adopted transparency and shared the rationale behind this banning, along with all internal communications regarding it.

This is no longer accurate: all of Jack Sweeney’s accounts have been banned, apparently permanently (despite Musk’s statement that permanent bans are wrong). https://mastodon.social/@JxckS/109513788818540405 https://mastodon.social/@JxckS/109513788818540405 There is an explanation: Violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam. You may not use Twitter's services in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people's experience on Twitter. “Artificially amplify” probably covers it, since he wrote code to amplify information that was otherwise tricky to view. Interesting precedent, though.

  Here’s another update (yes, I know nobody’s reading this far nested): The rules and policies covering personal information have been changed to include “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.” https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-information https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-info... I have confirmed via the Wayback Machine that this change occurred within the last 48 hours. I am going to be non-neutral now: what a dumb policy. That means you could report someone for posting a photo of a sporting event, because it identifies the location of the players. I’m not even totally against the concept but that is a terrible, terrible implementation. Remember how the people deciding whether or not to ban Trump were relying on nuances and intent rather than trying to write iron-clad rules? This is why.

    I'm still reading! You're the only one in this thread saying anything valuable as far as I'm concerned.

Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family."
