Elon Musk @elonmusk: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603181423787380737

"Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation. This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info.

Posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn’t a safety problem, so is ok."

This seems like a reasonable policy to me, especially when involving stalking well-known people (as opposed to taking a selfie with my mates at Micky D).

The problem is, that Elon very publicly and explicitly promised that @ElonJet would be allowed to continue as it is. His words mean less and less…

Apparently slightly delayed means 24 hours:

> We define “live” as real-time and/or same-day information where there is potential that the individual could still be at the named location.

Such a slipper slope for a guy who announce during TED talk, he is okay with all freedom of speech and leave it to government to decide aka if something is illegal then it should not be under free speech.

It is 24 hours now... what about in the future breaking news at Musk conference will require 10 years space.

Also the whole idea of doxing him... is he special or not? Otherwise we should not track anyone's flying info... but then government keeps this data open. Funny, the government turned out to give you more freedom of speech than a private company!
