ElonJet Briefly Returned Alongside Big Twitter Policy Update On Doxing – SlashGear

Soon after Musk shared his thoughts on the @ElonJet suspension saga, the official Twitter Safety handle made an announcement about a policy change. The safety team says users are free to tweet their own live location, but doing the same for other people poses an “increased risk of physical harm.” Following the policy amendment, Twitter will delete tweets that share another individual’s live location. Moreover, accounts that engage in such activity will get the suspension axe.

The only flexibility is that you can share someone’s live location information after a day, or a minimum gap of 24 hours. However, if the live location information is about a public event, music concert, political gathering, or anything like that, no action will be taken. What is puzzling here is that Sweeney’s personal account remains suspended, even though it was the @ElonJet handle that tracked Musk’s flight patterns.

On his official Mastodon account, Sweeney has claimed that all of the Twitter accounts he ran have been suspended. Half of those accounts were reportedly harmless and in scientific interest as they tracked NASA aircraft, weather aerial craft, and Air Force vehicles. Sharing an image of a Twitter notice sent to him, Sweeney claims that the policy change on doxing happened after his account was suspended for alleged manipulation and spam. Before all of this transpired, Musk expressed a distaste for suspensions and supported the “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” mantra.
