I think you’re reading into things that just aren’t there. You’re just making a bunch of assumptions. 
 

The tweet thread mentioned blocking trolls. The only person he actually named is Elon. I fail to see how that is demonizing whole groups of people. 
 

At no point did I advocate for blocking people simply because you disagree with them. 

the thread mentioned blocking anyone with opposing opinions by demonizing them.

 

ITs ok. Like most racist. Bigots often dont grasp what they are.

Please show me the tweet in that thread that says to block anyone you disagree with.

At no point in the thread does he say to block people just because you disagree with them. You just made that up. Which is why you refuse to support your claim.

So let’s say I have a Twitter account that republishes public information on private jet activity, including that of a private jet owned by a certain Mr Musk. 
A free speech proponent would never ban that account. Right?

Depends on the intent of the person publishing this information I would guess.

Not my point. (And yes, if you know my name and state you can find my address for free in about 20 seconds.) My point is every site will have some kind of rule for what is allowed on it. As I said, this is public information. That flight tracker guy is just making it easier to access. So it’s not “free speech vs censorship.”  Its “my brand of censorship vs yours.” Which is fair if you own the damn site. Which is exactly what those of us who defended pre-Elon Twitter were saying.

So which political party benefits from this form of censorship? Are you saying you were defending Twitter's apparent political censorship?

Yes. That is what I am saying. 
- Twitter was a publicly traded corporation, it had duly appointed officers and a Board, and those persons made a decision as to what kind of speech they would prohibit based on business and other factors that were entirely within their rights to apply. (Just as others were free to criticize those decisions and start their competing forums)

- Twitter is now a privately held company that is presumably in compliance with whatever state (Delaware?) authority under which it is registered regarding corporate governance, and if it doesn’t believe that allowing someone to post about the whereabouts of its majority owner’s private plane, that is its decision to make. (And others are free to criticize those decisions or start their own competing services). 
Not really so hard to understand.

It's public information - Musk should have upped his offer when he tried to buy him out...

 

I'm sure those Russian bots have been banned, too, right?

The owner of the account can manually post Elon's flight information from his own account at any time. The other account was a bot that was just running a script to automatically post and all bots like that are being blocked including the Chinese bots that push communism so hard

Tracking where celebrities go can be a safety hazard.  Especially now for Elon.

New Twitter blocking an account that widely shares the flight tracker whereabouts of the new owner of Twitter? Bad.

 

Old Twitter censoring a true and verifiable story on a Twitter account owned by one of the oldest newspapers in the nation about the son of a US presidential candidate and his shady international business dealings that were allegedly benefitting his candidate father? Well, that's a nothing burger.

 

Old Twitter now shown to have deplatformed a sitting US President, despite internal Twitter communications now showing that the former President didn't violate the rules and they booted him anyway? Again, nothing burger.

 

It's going to be awesome to read all the "nothing burgers" the commies tell us are in the covid Twitter files.

Apparently the shut down of the plane tracking accounts is due to a new content moderation policy:

 

Private information and media policy

 

Most of it is pretty standard anti-doxxing stuff but the big change seems to be banning real time location tracking, even if it is readily available public information. 
 

I think most would agree that real time tracking of individuals on the street or in their cars would be bad. But I’m not convinced that plane tracking (or boat tracking in the case of Yacht Watch) is particularly dangerous to an individual. 
 

The plane lands at an airport behind the security checkpoints and then the individual will get in a car and leave. Unless there are a lot of stinger missiles in the hands of private citizens out there, I’m not sure what the danger is.
 

Not to mention the fact that there are publicly available resources to do this anyway. People can just use an app for it (I like to use one to track flights into O’Hare for fun).

Who cares?  If it’s not dangerous, does it matter one way or the other?

I mean, we’re talking about a social media site, so not sure too much actually matters. 
 

But yeah, if there’s really no danger, why ban it?

 

Also, it looks like the ElonJet account is back up, so no idea what’s going on. It clearly violates the new policy.

It's not up. He banned all real time tracking bot accounts. Someone tracked his plane last night thinking it was him and followed his private car from the airport and it was actually his 2 year old in the car not him. The crazy person blocked the car and jumped on the hood apparently.

That’s really messed up and they should go after that guy. 
 

I don’t see what lawsuit he could file against Sweeney that would have a chance at success though. As I said, you can just follow the plane on one of the many tracker apps out there. Banning tracker accounts from Twitter won’t stop people from following celebrity planes if they want to.
