You are okay to have your live location tracked without your permission?

Maybe you are not aware, but for many of the main contraversies about bans on Twitter, the main debate is about what constitutes a threat. It's never clear-cut threats or incitement. As evidenced in the Twitter Files. And there is no o

I think you are only imagining people you dislike. Try to think of someone you admire. Fighting for a good cause. A pro-choice activist or an female celebrity flying to an African country to work with NGOs for women's health issues or

I guess the question is do you make an exception for public figures. Which seems to be the case. But you have to think, would you want your travel plans tracked? It's easy to be okay with it because you seem to not like Elon Musk and t

It's not a personal opinion thing. It's one of those things that you really could ask everyone and they would agree. It's hard to even think of a reason why someone would oppose it for themselves.

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

It's a strange hypocrisy of society. They enjoy celeb sightings and tracking people, just so long as it doesn't happen to them.

I don't know anyone who would want their live location tracked without their permission. If you do, I am very interested to know why!

True. Like if media is waiting outside a courthouse or something. "We are down at the courthouse waiting for so and so...". But if someone was tracking me, I would absolutely want a clear policy to have it taken down. I don't

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.

The people criticizing him are not upset that he is not upholding free speech commitments though. They are the ones that don't want free speech. They want more moderation and want stricter rules and policies, and more safety. So here i

"measured" - he did not say this. He said "even extends" which implies that it was already on the edge of what he deemed free speech that was acceptable to him. Can someone change their mind? Yes. And this wasn't li

Come on dude. It's a plane tracking account. It's clearly against terms of service. It's not exactly an assault on free speech. > live location information, including information shared on Twitter directly or links to 3rd-

Simple question: do you think people's location should tracked and publicized? The answer is always no. It's also against Twitter terms of service. It's called a wedge. You are being forced into criticizing him for doing some

If someone is walking in the street next to you, and tracks you with GPS, and publishes this data, this is public information too by that standard? I think you should read up more on doxing.

Okay so if you reach a certain wealth level, everyone should be entitled to see where you are? If that's the world you want to live in, fine. My doubt would be that if you accrued such wealth, your opinion would rapidly change. So this

Who is the group that is cheering for a future in which everyone's location is shared with the world at all times? I would argue there is not a single one. If someone can explain how this is damaging to freedom of speech I am very inte

How and who decides if its actually cyber-bullying and whether C was bullying A and B?

How do you know person C is acting in good faith though? What if person C is actually plotting to hurt person A and B, and accusing them of the reverse?

It was odd that someone like Jack could make such a naive statement. Makes me think he's been a bit disconnected from all this for a while. Maybe he assumed that illegal content was an obvious exception. However, illegal content differ
