> On Wednesday, Twitter chief Elon Musk banned accounts he said he never would in order to protect free speech, made up new rules to justify it, threatened legal action against a 20-year-old, pontificated on how doxing is banned on the platform, and then immediately posted a video doxing a man and asked his 121 million followers to identify him.
> Twitter then retroactively added a new policy that banned accounts "dedicated to sharing someone's live location."
He had previously publicly promised not to ban the account.
No, Twitter clarified a policy against doxxing that had previously existed.
If I gave you a list of accounts banned by the previous owners and said "Dorsey banned these guys because he was mad at them!" And then it turned out the accounts were all racists, it might be true that Dorsey didn't like them, but the reason they were banned was the racism and that's true even if Twitter had to post hoc clarify their terms of service.
Analogously, sharing the current location of celebrities, automated in real time, is clearly problematic behavior and related to doxxing which is already against the rules. That's what those accounts were banned for, and again, you are simply lying by trying to conflate the cause.
You provided "evidence" in the form of news articles that directly refuted your own claims. The articles explain why those accounts were banned.
It's fine that you dislike Musk for whatever reason but you shouldn't lie about him and it is a lie to say that he banned accounts he didn't like and use examples where he banned people for violating the rules.
> You provided "evidence" in the form of news articles that directly refuted your own claims.
I directly quoted the news article supporting my claims. You can say black is white, but it's not very believable when people can just scroll up and look.
Protip: if you really don't want to admit defeat in an internet argument, it's usually a better look to just stop responding. Let me paste the quote for you:
> My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk

It is very clear that if Musk wants you off Twitter enough, he's kicking you off Twitter.
