I find it interesting because his purchase of Twitter was both newsworthy and an obviously terrible financial decision from the jump. He promises to be pro-free speech but then just starts banning accounts critical of him. He makes up policy rules on the fly and then punishes those who aren’t immediately compliant, even if the policy is vague or confusing. People applauding him went from this being about free speech, to it being about treating everyone fairly, to it being about showing lefties how they were treated by the previous ownership of Twitter. All in all, my personal experience on Twitter hasn’t changed much. My wife mentioned she’s seeing more right wing accounts on her timeline than she did before but whatever. I just find the whole thing interesting and a bit bizarre. I don’t have a personal vendetta against Musk. I think Teslas are great. SpaceX is cool. I just don’t think he’s some infallible genius at everything and I believe his overpaying for Twitter and actions since becoming the owner support that idea.

The government flagging items for a social media to review is not censorship if the social media company is free to act on the content as they want with no government coercion (see: the Pentagon Papers). The example of a singular individual having an emotional reaction and using that to change major policies on a whim is maybe a good example of why companies like Twitter tend to have trust and safety departments to handle moderation policies. Tracking of plane tail numbers, even in real time, is not PII and is therefore, not doxxing. That’s why there are several sites that allow you to do it for free. Edited December 16, 2022 by ChiGoose

It was a Republican government doing it. A lot of this happened under Trump’s administration. I have not had a chance to watch the video. I’ll get around to it if I can but I’ll stand by drawing a line between PII and non-PII where doxxing is concerned. Especially when that non-PII is easily available elsewhere.

I think you're going out on a bit of limb there. There are very justifiable and even good reasons the FBI, even Trump's FBI, would reach out to a social media company to request they review something. What about when China was using almost 200,000 bot accounts to spread propaganda about Taiwan? Should the FBI have just sat on its hands instead of alerting private companies? The crucial point is: was the social media company coerced by the government to act? As in, if they reviewed the item and left it up, would they be punished? So far, I haven't seen anything that says the answer is "yes". It looks like they flag stuff and Twitter reviews it and comes to their own determination. I fail to see how that is a first amendment issue. It's completely fair to criticize the actions Twitter took, but it's a tremendous leap to say that they are just following the orders of the FBI. I did get a chance to watch the video tonight, thank you for sending it. I independently found Elon's tail number in about 1 minute of googling, none of which involved the guy from ElonJets. But that doesn't matter, because plane tail numbers aren't PII. I am against doxxing. We shouldn't allow the public posting of PII. I'm glad that important people like SCOTUS have security and the guy who threatened Kavanaugh was arrested. But this isn't that, no matter how much people want it to be. It's not the same as posting where his car is. It's not the same as posting where his house is. Planes are heavily regulated airport-to-airport vehicles and the owner of a plane might not be on it for any particular flight. Trying to say it's the same as putting a tracker in their car or posting their home address just isn't convincing. The guy who went after Elon's son (thinking it was Elon) was wrong, but Elon's overreaction to it just proves that one person shouldn't be making these decisions on a whim. 49 minutes ago, BillStime said: Miami Dolphins arrived safely in Buffalo https://fr24.com/data/flights/5y8046#2e8fc945 @BillStime should be banned for posting this.

He can do that. It’s his right as the owner of the platform. But it’s exactly the same thing everyone here was complaining about Twitter doing before he bought it. Now it’s all fun and games and totally fine. He can apply the rules equally, but doesn’t seem to want to. He could actually go full free-speech but he doesn’t seem to want to. And that’s his right. I’m just not going to pretend he is doing something he clearly isn’t interested in. Worst case scenario the script flipped, and Twitter is now what it was before. The world continued to spin, there were winners and losers, and it will be more of the same. I don’t believe that, I believe de-libbing the platform will take some time, but again, no big deal.

Honestly, I think Twitter ultimately ends up somewhere near where it was before Musk bought it. It relies on ads for revenue and ad buyers want boring, non-controversial platforms for their ads.
