I don't think anyone would be happy with someone re-posting their live location on the internet. Like I cannot think of a single person who would like this. Maybe you do? If so, I would really be interested to know why.

From my perspective (not a celebrity or public figure) I don't want to feel like I can't say that I saw so-and-so at a mall or something. It's stifling. It also dramatically violates the entire "free speech" thing Musk has been barking about.

That’s only a fraction of what this ToS Language bans.

  Check the diff from the link. This is the only sentence that is added: > 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; Would you like someone to share that information about you or not. That's as simple as it is.

    Are you saying you don’t see how this bans a lot of reporting? Do you not see how that language bans you from posting a photo you take in the public that includes other people? The language is wide open for selective enforcement. Selective enforcement is exactly the type of moderation that Elon rallied against. So when there is a change to the Terms of Service, one would hope that thought and care would go into it while also upholding the mission that he laid out.

      The terms already included the following before this change: > home address or physical location information, including street addresses, GPS coordinates or other identifying information related to locations that are considered private; You make a good point about the risk of selective enforcement, but there is already a huge amount of rules left open to ambiguity already. I guess we will see if its used as a tool for censorship.

If their location is public data provided by a public entity via an API... The location is already out there. This is merely a rebroadcast.

  We are talking about the policy change regarding the addition of a prohibition on live information without permission. Check the link.
