@LevineJonathan @CNN @washingtonpost @nytimes Add Linette Lopez @lopezlinette to the list.

Banned for recapping the times Elon had his enemies tracked.

It happened right while I was reading her latest tweets.

She did NOT post Elon's location, she just posted about the times HE looked for other peoples' locations.

@kairyssdal @CNN Good stuff, now we wait to see how people spin this action into a "free speech" argument supporting Musk's decision.

@gft77 @kairyssdal @CNN to be fair, "only people who like me can speak" *is* a fairly radical interpretation of "free speech".
More seriously, I think the pivot will either be a pivot back to classic libertarianism:
"Banning whoever he likes is an expression of Elon's free speech"; or,
Proprietary autonomy:
"it's his business, he can do what he likes"

@rorzer @kairyssdal @CNN That might fly in the U.S. but Europe and the EU is a little more strict about just saying what you want to say about people. This is gonna get interesting.
