Devils Advocate: why would that be a bad thing?
- SXX 4y agoBecause there is actual war going on? Information about Russian government aircrafts or Putin's oligarchs private jets leaving country can be important in real time. Musk banned those too.
- jacquesm 4y agoThat's just him taking care of his friends.
- turtlebits 4y agoIt's Twitter. Militaries shouldn't be depending on Twitter accounts for their intel.
- SXX 4y agoIt's not about militaries since military planes mostly have their ADS-B transponder off. But OSINT community depend heavily on flight trackers and also on sharing location information with wide audience. It's possible without Twitter, but bans for sharing of location information will make it much easier for Russia to block investigator accounts.

- ratg13 4y agoIt wasn’t clear that parent was referring specifically to military OSINT and I took it more as general OSINT which is often of civilians, and can be less ethical and lead to false conclusions. Reddit locating the boston bomber, etc.
- spamizbad 4y agoAh. I really have no interest in those accounts so I can't speak to them.
