Attached: 1 image Twitter has now updated its TOS to support the banning of accounts like elonjet by making it against the rules to reveal someone's "actual physical location, or other identifying information that would reveal a person's location". It is now against TOS to tweet about a live press conference in the Rose Garden.
@dappergander @JxckS This is incorrect. It wouldn’t be violating the policy because it “contains eyewitness accounts or on the ground reports from developing events” and the players are public figures.

@kcivey @ifvictr @dappergander @JxckS They took the rules out of context and cropped out additional terms above it.
This whole rule change/addition is absolutely absurd and why I'm going to use Mastodon more often now. Bird app don't consider a "name" to be private information... really? It's the first example of private info on a number of sites.

The jet also has a cruising speed of 956 km/h so how would he be posting "live" location data? By the time it was reported by the twitter account the jet would've travelled a significant distance, unless it was stationary and if it was stationary Musk wouldn't be on it?
@MelloProto Disagree, I think the removal will be effective in reducing overall reach! This bot was a facilitator, after all.
A lot of people didn’t know this data was public until the account became popular. Crazies who had an urge to go after Elon could simply follow, or even have updates pushed onto their timeline with _no input_ from them. Without this, the friction of piecing together data from aircraft database + plane # + air traffic would be enough to dampen the prospect for most.
