Why the weird Elon hate over this? My understanding was that this broke Twitter TOS and that he was leaving it up as a gesture of good faith. If he wants to take it down to keep things consistent across Twitter, why the hate? I know the Elon hate boner on HN is strong but this seems absurd.
- SXX 4y agoThere are several reasons why: 1. Hypocrisy. He publicly promised not to take it down and then done it in secret. 2. Twitter first shadow-banned account and only after being caught actually blocked it completely. 3. TOS been changed only after account was banned. 4. Supposedly their rules apply retroactively for prior posts. 5. Bot creator account was also banned so it was personal and not because TOS. 6. Most ADS-B tracking accounts were banned including those tracking government flights and not individuals. PS: I dont have anything against "Elon Musk private person", but I were using Twitter for a long time so I share my thougths about his decision.
