Elon Musk / @elonmusk: 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.
@twittersafety: When someone shares an individual's live location on Twitter, there is an increased risk of physical harm. Moving forward, we'll remove Tweets that share this information, and accounts dedicated to sharing someone else's live location will be suspended.
Joseph De Avila / Wall Street Journal: Twitter Suspends Accounts Sharing Live Locations, Including the Tracker of Elon Musk's Private Jet
Grace Dean / Insider: Elon Musk suspended his jet tracker's Twitter account for sharing public information about his whereabouts, then shared a person's license plate with his 121 million followers
@twittersafety: We've updated our Private Information policy to prohibit sharing someone else's live location in most cases. Here's what changed and why. 🧵
Drew Harwell / @drewharwell: @elonmusk ... Here's where it gets really wild. Try to tweet a link to the Musk-jet-tracking account on Instagram. You can't. Twitter blocked it as “potentially harmful.” Again, this is *publicly available data*. But it's about something Musk doesn't want people to see https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Herb Scribner / Axios: Twitter suspends account that tracked Elon Musk's jet
Donie O'Sullivan / CNN: Twitter suspends account that tracked Musk's private jet, despite billionaire's ‘free speech’ pledge
@twittersafety: You can still share your own live location on Twitter. Tweets that share someone else's historical (not same-day) location information are also not prohibited by this policy.
Peter Weber / The Week: Elon Musk bans Twitter account tracking his private jet, threatens 20-year-old owner with ‘legal action’
David Lidsky / Fast Company: The Elon Musk jet tracker is living rent-free inside the Twitter owner's head
Tim Faulkner / @timoteofaulkner: @TwitterSafety What about non-events that are newsworthy involving a public figure? Is posting a photo of Ted Cruz at the airport fleeing the cold in real-time news or banworthy? How would a tweeter know in advance?
Michael Luciano / Mediaite: Musk Claims ‘Legal Action Is Being Taken’ Against 20-Year-Old Behind Jet-Tracking Account
Ashton Pittman / @ashtonpittman: It changed because the billionaire manchild who owns Twitter is a “free speech absolutist” until it inconveniences him. https://twitter.com/...
@meidastouch: This is a lot of words to say El*n's feelings were hurt. Hacks. https://twitter.com/...
Sean Buckley / Engadget: Twitter conveniently reveals a location sharing policy amid Elonjet controversy
Melissa Gomez / @melissagomez004: The accounts included in this piece, including @CelebJets, @RUOligarchjets and @PutinJet, which were active when this piece was published, appear to also be suspended https://www.wsj.com/...
Matthewprigge / UPROXX: Elon Musk Is Threatening To Go After A College Student Who Ran A Twitter Account Tracking His Private Jet
John Scott-Railton / @jsrailton: This is what happens when policy is made & implemented on-the-fly. And tells you everything you need to know about how these decisions are being made. Also, the guy who runs this account is still suspended. https://twitter.com/...
@newrepublic: “I mean, fuck this guy,” Jack Sweeney said, referring to Elon Musk about the suspensions of his Twitter accounts using public information to track private jets. “This is ridiculous.” https://newrepublic.com/...
Sarah Reese Jones / @politicussarah: Yes. This is why dedicated hate accounts posting children's hospitals is a dangerous policy. medical treatment is not a public event. https://twitter.com/...
George Hahn / @georgehahn: Meanwhile, it's cool for Elon to unleash a campaign against @yoyoel that has yielded threats against Yoel so severe that he is forced to move. https://www.wsj.com/...
@rmac18: This shows doxxing is now just an empty word, devoid of its original meaning. Also I'm interested what “legal action” would look like against a college student who published public information. What did he do that was unlawful? https://twitter.com/...
Dennis Detwiller / @drgonzo123: Please note that according to this, if you take a photo with anyone in it and post it to twitter with location turned on, you can be suspended. As you can see, this is the stupidest decision to date. Impressive, considering how dumb all the previous ones have been. https://twitter.com/...
Keith Edwards / @keithedwards: This is old data from Elon's jet, so it's ok to share. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Shannon Bond / @shannonpareil: to be clear, this is the same strategy of link blocking Twitter applied to the NY Post Hunter Biden story in October 2020 that Elon & the Twitter Files disclosures have said was bad https://twitter.com/...
@evan_greer: So, does this make it against the rules to tweet “I just spotted a Twitter lobbyist at Chuck Schumer's fundraising dinner last night” ? Just curious https://twitter.com/...
Dan Murphy / @bungdan: Less than six weeks ago. This creature is a liar and a four-flusher. All the way down. https://twitter.com/...
Faiz Siddiqui / @faizsays: I talked to Jack Sweeney, a Musk fan, right after Musk took over. He didn't think Musk would outright ban him: “I personally think he won't do it because then the news would be all over it and he would be called a hypocrite.” as it turns out... https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

@jetcitystar: Hey @TwitterSafety So are businesses that track any boats/ships such as @MarineTraffic in violation of your terms because there's humans onboard operating those vessels? https://twitter.com/...
John Scott-Railton / @jsrailton: Free speech unless you track oligarchs & billionaires. Takeaways: 1️⃣ Twitter is making policy decisions on the fly 2️⃣ In ways that align with Musk's well-known interests Yes this is exactly the critique Elon came in with. https://twitter.com/...
Judd Legum / @juddlegum: Not sure who runs this account, but why lie? This change was made because Musk didn't want people posting about where he takes his private jet, even though this information is publicly available. He owns Twitter, so he changed the rules. https://twitter.com/...
Frank Lesser / @sadmonsters: So just as a hypothetical, say someone is getting booed somewhere—like, I don't know, a live comedy show. Could someone else upload video of the real-life repercussions of that person's $44 billion midlife crisis, or would they have to wait 24 hours? https://twitter.com/...
Dan Murphy / @bungdan: See, an unevenly-applied rule to ban accounts urging people to die from a deadly virus or to join an unprecedented violent insurrection against US democracy is anti-free speech. The same rule to protect billionaires from public scrutiny is pro-free speech. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Los Angeles Times: Twitter suspends account that monitored Elon Musk's jet after ban; owner's account is also suspended
Jon Levine / @levinejonathan: You can get Elon on hypocrisy over the the plane account, but it's really hard to argue with this logic more broadly https://twitter.com/...
Ron Kampeas / @kampeas: This defines incoherent. I can't live tweet a press conference under this policy. I can't report onsite. @elonmusk is turning this always flawed but stop useful site into a veritable s***show. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: It sounds like Musk is saying certain speech is dangerous and has the ability to lead to real-world violence. 🧐 https://twitter.com/...
Aaron Rupar / @atrupar: By the letter of this policy you could be suspended for tweeting that you ran into a famous person at a restaurant https://twitter.com/...
E.W. Niedermeyer / @tweetermeyer: The fact that this kid identifies himself as a Musk fan makes him less sympathetic, not more. This isn't some journalistic hero, this is someone who monetized a billionaire narcissist's toxic personality cult and is now reaping the utterly predictable results. https://twitter.com/...
Faiz Siddiqui / @faizsays: NEW: Twitter had previously conducted a review of @ElonJet and determined it didn't violate the company's policies on sharing of private info Despite that, Elon Musk's site permanently suspended it with a new rationale Wednesday https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... w/ @drewharwell
Will Oremus / @willoremus: It's telling which types of “free speech” Elon Musk supports (neo-Nazis) and which he censors (publicly available data about his own private jet). https://twitter.com/...
John Scott-Railton / @jsrailton: Looks like @TwitterSafety now has a thread providing some clarifications. But I'm truly not sure how they address most of the cases I've listed. https://twitter.com/...
Jason Goldman / @goldman: Every paragraph of this story reads like a dispatch from a failed state https://twitter.com/...
Katherine Donlevy / New York Post: Musk vows ‘legal action’ against teen who tracks his jet flights on Twitter
Molly Knight / @molly_knight: So tweeting about anything that happens live before your eyes is now illegal. No more tweeting from concerts or sporting events. Reporting news or simply making observations on this platform is no longer allowed. https://twitter.com/...
Chris O'Brien / @obrien: @RMac18 He could force the guy to face some heavy legal fees, even if it's totally frivolous.
Chase Woodruff / @dcwoodruff: Once again, as funny as this whole saga has been, it's part of a genuinely alarming antidemocratic moment, led by a tiny class of tech oligarchs who consider themselves immune by divine right from scrutiny and scorn from the rabble, and may well be poised to get their wish. https://twitter.com/...
@cubanjet: DISCLAIMER - In accordance with the new @TwitterSupport policy ( https://twitter.com/... ), this account does NOT report locations of any individuals. It only reports publicly available data broadcast by the aircraft itself. It does not know any passengers or crew aboard.
Mehdi Hasan / @mehdirhasan: So journalists can't say where, say, the president is? Or can't say who is speaking at a live protest or rally? And what does ‘slightly delayed’ even mean? Who defined that? Oh, and last question: do you still consider yourself a ‘free speech absolutist’? https://twitter.com/...
John Scott-Railton / @jsrailton: To be clear: superrich & notorious people face real threats. Reducing exposure of their movements increases their safety. The issue here is: was this new policy, which benefits Musk, conducted with any sort of balancing of collateral impacts on desirable & free speech?
Katherine Cross / @quinnae_moon: It's blazingly obvious that this policy change was done almost entirely to justify banning ElonJet because it annoyed the CEO. There were already policies in place to prohibit cyberstalking; this is just a capriciously vague policy that will be exploited to serve the powerful. https://twitter.com/...
@twittersafety: Content that shares location information related to a public engagement or event, such as a concert or political event, is also permitted.
Batya Ungar-Sargon / @bungarsargon: Months ago, when I was warning conservatives that Elon Musk is not the free speech hero they want him to be, I predicted one of the first things he'd do after buying Twitter would be to ban the kid who uses public information to track Musk's private jet. I regret to inform you... https://twitter.com/...

Twitter plans to shut down its newsletter platform Revue and delete all related data on January 18, 2023, after acquiring the company in January 2021 — One day after Jack Dorsey took to Revue to share his thoughts on the Twitter Files, the company announced it would shut down the newsletter platform early next year.

Discussion:
@johnonolan: If you're leaving Revue today, consider your next platform carefully: - is it a free product? - is it created by a funded startup? - is the software closed/proprietary? If “yes” — There's a pretty good chance it's going to shut down in a few years. Just like the ones before it.
Martijn de Kuijper / Revue Help Center: We've made the difficult decision to shut down Revue.
Mitchell Clark / The Verge: Twitter's newsletter tool is shutting down on January 12th
@johnonolan: If you want longevity, consider products with: - a paid offering, to invest in the product - sustainable economics, to keep the company alive - open source code, so it can't be shut down @Ghost has all 3.
Anthony DeRosa / @anthony: Twitter acquired newsletter service Revue in January 2021. It will be shut down next month >> https://twitter.com/...
Thomas Baekdal / @baekdal: Mind you, I'm fine. When I built my newsletter, I specifically chose to build my newsletter ‘in house’ so that I owned the system and customer database. I'm not relying on any outside platform for my newsletter. Or what John wrote here: https://twitter.com/...
@rubenbolling: Good thing I never launched an Revue version of the Inner Hive, which I did consider when it launched. I'd have involuntarily gotten into business with Musk, and then gotten screwed by Musk. https://twitter.com/...
Thomas Baekdal / @baekdal: This is absolutely unacceptable. Any paid-for newsletter that has their entire customer canceled is the same as ‘forced churn’. Even if they move to a different platform, it's unlikely that all people will just sign-up for a new payment plan. https://twitter.com/...
Michelle Manafy / @michellemanafy: Oh joy. Fairwell, archive. And with loads of notice: “From January 12th, 2023, it will no longer be possible to access your Revue account.On that date, Revue will shut down and all data will be deleted.” Also not shocking on any level https://www.engadget.com/...
Thomas Baekdal / @baekdal: What Twitter is doing here is destroying the revenue for so many creators. It will take a long time to build that up again on a new platform.
Thomas Baekdal / @baekdal: It's far more likely that a substantial percentage (likely more than 50% for most newspapers) will simply not do anything (and thereby churn). As we all know, retention is far simpler than acquisition, and this forces every creator to re-acquire everyone on their lists.

@arunindy: Crazy but true story of how a finance bro apparently purchased and killed an entire newspaper archive of 22,000 articles to bury evidence that he raped a student. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@cvillenewscom: The Hook's entire website disappeared from the internet this spring. As the Washington Post reports, there's good circumstantial evidence that the whole site was trashed by one rich guy who wanted to remove an article about him from the internet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Neal Augenstein / @augensteinwtop: Proud of my buddy, @HawesSpencer in Charlottesville. A blend of old school and new, his story is an important one about the power and responsibility of journalism. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@cvillenewscom: How was the site removed? @cville_weekly's owners sold it to an anonymous party—who they say was anonymous *even to them*. They should not have done that, which should have been obvious even at the time. It's weird that I have to say that. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Kim Zetter / @kimzetter: Unidentified buyer purchases archive of now-defunct newspaper; few months later archive (which lived on after paper died) disappears from internet. Former staff think mystery buyer purchased archive to kill old stories about a rape accusation https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Allison Wrabel / @craftypanda: As a person who has worked in local media, what's wild to me about all this is that people seem to forget that to read ANY Charlottesville area news from local news outlets between 1965 and 2002 or so you have to go to the library. https://twitter.com/...
Nick Pinto / @macfathom: This from @farhip is an excellent whodunnit with compelling evidence that Curtis N. Ofori of Greenhall Capital Partners bought the archives of an alt-weekly in order to memory-hole its reporting on rape allegations against him when he was an undergraduate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
David Beard / @dabeard: A mystery buyer of a defunct paper has killed its archives—and a slice of the city's history. Before that, a flood of complaints sought to kill one particular story—a rape accusation involving University of Virginia students 18 years ago. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... @farhip
Jonathan Martin / @jmart: “Ofori did not respond to multiple phone calls or messages left at his home and the company he co-directs, Greenhall Capital Partners, an investment firm in downtown Washington.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@uvalibrary: “A truly motivated researcher might find the dusty print copies of these articles in a library...” Dear @washingtonpost We do have the copies of The Hook in Special Collections @RareUVA. Bonus—They aren't dusty. That's not how materials are preserved. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: Fascinating case study on how a law firm intermediary, Google and some money were able to wipe away a news archive. “The irony is we have this technology to preserve [digital information], and yet it's more vulnerable than ever.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Trevor Timm / @trevortimm: I appreciate the thorough coverage from @commondreams of the PRESS Act debate in the Senate today. Why NYT, WaPo, AP, etc. aren't covering this is a mystery to me.

@stu_rush: 🚨 My goodness. Facing budget shortfalls, @npr just announced it will cancel the Summer 2023 internship program. This makes me truly sad. I may be wrong but I don't recall this happening in my nearly 30 years. @NPRinterns are part of NPR's lifeblood & a pipeline of great talent.
Alan Montecillo / @alanmontecillo: Execs will not feel the brunt of this decision and most legacy donors + loyal public media supporters will not make a big stink about this. But there will be ripple effects, and they aren't good. https://twitter.com/...
@stu_rush: Been up a lot overnight thinking, grinding my teeth, fighting a migraine. Need some rest to help deliver @npratc today.

@kalyani_saxena: This is genuinely so sad for so many early career journalists I wouldn't be where I am without my time as an @npr intern. That being said!
