It seems like a good rule, but in this case the application of the rule seems less impersonal than it could be

Let’s try to make a comment that creates less outrage than most…

This is why it would be interesting to post public information about politicians collected from the online spyware that tracks all of us. It would rapidly motivate new laws that at least somewhat improve privacy.

This always happens when rule makers are personally affected by a problem: the problem starts getting attention

It's also worth noting that revealing real names and workplaces of anonymous accounts is still allowed. The doxxing that is banned is a specific class of doxxing that isn't often considered to be doxxing.

This. Since when is current location of a well known person doxxing? AFAICT, Elon made that up to suit himself.

I don't have much nice to say about the UK royals, but they put up with infinitely worse.

I was thinking about this last night during the Space chat. Jason Calacanis was insisting that the level of tracking represented by ElonJet was something new and all I could think of was paparazzi. For decades, movie stars have been monitored in a far more intrusive way.

That doesn’t mean the plane tracking was or wasn’t good, it just surprised me that Calacanis was so unaware.

Calacanis is such an obvious Elon shill. It’s like a high school athlete looking up to their favorite pro football player.
