It's not a good rule. It was implemented for the sole reason of preventing people from saying where Elon Musk's private jet is, even though that is publicly available information by law.

And it was forseeable. People were joking that Musk was paying $40B to buy Twitter simply to just down the ElonJet account.

Which is hilarious because as I recall the account admin asked for something like $50k to shut it down…

And that would've caused an avalanche of copycat accounts, each going after their own 50K.

You can't stop the signal, but you can slowly dampen it

Of course Musk could have simply flown commercial and bypassed the entire "problem".

Commercial airplanes don't have doors that go like this, unfortunately.
