  The censorship never stopped. It was happening before Musk assumed his position, while he was getting settled in, and is continuing now. Twitter is a censorious platform, and its organizational and technical structure is very much conducive to this situation; nor could you reasonably expect someone like Mr. Musk to invest a lot of effort to change this.

    The difference is the censorship used to be in an attempt to stop direct harm. Now it is in an attempt to stop annoying a billionaire.

      No, the censorship was not at all limited to "stopping direct harm". Unless you redefine harm as "what Twitter owners/management decide is harmful", in which case that's true by-definition. Classical case in point: https://twitter.com/JulianAssange https://twitter.com/JulianAssange

  Doxxing people's location in real time is basically stalking. It should have been taken down by previous management.

    Turns out the FAA has been stalking people for decades. Can we also add "getting arrested is kidnapping actually" to this list of arbitrary interpretations?

    Sorry but it's completely legal and anyone can look up the info as it's publicly available. It's also protected under the 1st amendment and court cases. It's not stalking, it's simply relaying already available public info in an easier to find place.
