It's interesting that many are debating the value of this 'rule', when this action is blatant abuse of his powers to silence his critics. He has now a lengthy and growing history of this type of behavior, so it was 100% foreseeable. He could just come out and say that its his twitter and he can do what he wants, but no, because he also wants to be seen as a 'defender of free speech'. He acts like a-hole, but then expects unquestioning adoration.

Elon Musk is the kid on the playground shouting "time-out" and inventing a new rule every time he's about to get tagged.

I've known Musk was crazy ever since he baselessly called Vern Unsworth (the diver who rescued the children trapped in a cave in Thailand) a "pedophile".

But there was a reason he invented this new rule, and I think it's unwise and unfair to dismiss a stalker attack as "being tagged on the playground".

Most of those banned have nothing at all to do with providing updates from the public database of jet flight plans.

The only common thread is that they report in Elon Musk. They have nothing to do with the stalking incident, just with annoying Musk by doing other journalism.

Further, if he was doing what you were saying, that's not a new rule. The new rule that Musk made as to bring back doxxers and targeted harassers like LibsOfTikTok, that had been putting innocent people at great bodily risk by inflaming people with falsehoods and then sending them after people in real life. Yet LibsOfTikTok is still on Twitter!!

Libs of TikTok literally reposts content made public by the author. LoTT does not create the videos, they do not tell the video creators what to say. LoTT just gives those individuals more of the attention they seek which is the goal of posting said content. If anything LoTT helps normalize the behavior from these creators and gives them a larger bullhorn. LoTT gives publicity to those that are a significant minority.

LoTT sends armies of goons at specific times and locations to harass and threaten people. What LoTT does is 100 times worse than ElonJet. If you can't see the difference between actual threats on lives against Elon's faux threat then I can't help you.

If Chaya was only reposting w/o commentary, you might have a point. But she isn't. She's claiming that those people are "groomers", or "pedos", or whatever slur bigots are using now.

Could you provide a link to a single tweet that gave instructions, times or locations to harass people?

Or

Did LoTT share PUBLIC information about PUBLIC events? Fuck... in the last 24 hours people have lost their fucking minds over Elon's stalking ban and claim it's public information.

Ya can't have it both ways. I know folxs want to but it's not possible.
