A plane taking off is a public event, and that statement isn’t in the actual policy linked.

    Again, that’s not in the “full policy” in the final link. An exception documented only in a Twitter thread might as well not exist. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-information https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-info...

      Having two policies documented in two places helps when you need to decide which interpretation applies to a tweet you don't like.

Landing at an airport is a public event

  It happens in public, but it isn’t a ‘public event’ by any reasonable interpretation unless Elon encourages people to come see him disembark the plane.

    Actually, he’s celebrity, having deliberately sought the spotlight for years. That also means he has a lower reasonable expectation of privacy than a normal person, much like other celebrities and public people.

      Yeah but that doesn’t make Twitter’s new policy any less than what it says.

    From a Pro Publica article [1] some years back: "Use of the national airspace is generally considered public information because pilots – whether airline captains or recreational fliers – rely on a system of air traffic controllers, radars, runways and taxiways, lighting systems and towers that are all paid for or subsidized by taxpayers. As a result, flight data collected by the FAA in its air traffic control system – except for military and sensitive government flights – is public information. Web sites such as FlightAware post the data online, allowing anyone to observe the system and follow most planes virtually in real time." Which is not to say that Elon setting foot onto the tarmac should be open to the general public - but the very fact that airports are restricted spaces makes this kind of information more comfortable.

      That doesn’t make it a public event, the sentence even gives examples of what they consider public events - concerts and political events. I’m not arguing about anything here except for Twitter’s new policy. I don’t think it’s a good policy and it makes the lie of Musk’s “commitment” to free speech but it says what it says.
