And it came on the same day that Twitter suspended the account of social media rival platform Mastodon."

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Rupar is apparently famous for leaving out context, and it's been made into a verb.
Bunch of other suspended journalist accounts. May have in common Sweeney story on private jet. Specifically, noting that LAPD has no record of police report on the car incident. And Sweeney has been suspended again.
Musk starting to seem like he has the personality of the super-rich villain in a Bond parody movie.
It's a private company, they can do what they want.
That's how it works, I'm told.
A taste of their own medicine. Good.
So leftwing journolists who favor banning people are getting banned. And whining about it.
Okey-dokey.
Keith Olbermann regularly incites violence against others. And laughs about it. So, if he got suspended, let him learn the lesson. Assuming his head injury allows him to.
I'm not a free speech absolutist. Doxxing is a no-no. So is inciting violence. So is porn, etc.
"Mommy he hit me back"
Payback can be fun.
The independent doesn't want to let me read the article.
Curious why they were banned.
My guess it they were tweeting real time locations of Musk's family.
They have been doing that for a while and there have been attacks.
I would like to know more about this. Somehow I don't believe the information in the article covers the reality and reasoning behind the decision to ban them by Elon.
No
Not gayface Rupar
Not him
Anyone but him!
I am sure that these reporters will support Trump in his efforts to punish censors.
A person truly possessing cruel neutrality might at least think about waiting for an official announcement documenting the reason for the suspension instead of blandly (blindly) accepting Rupar’s suggestion that it was either related to tracking Musk’s jet or because of a serious case of pique by Musk.
All I can say is "build your own whiners".
One of many accounts suspended for posting links to the jet tracker information in violation of the new doxx’ing policy. I don’t like the policy but it was about politics but violating terms of service.
Seems capricious and unwarranted, just like a lot of the previous bannings at Twitter. I wonder what the strategy is here? Is it, "See? How do you like it when it happens to you? That's why I want to adopt the policies regarding free-speech I advocated for. Now I will unban these accounts and hopefully you come aboard my free-speech e-vessel." If so, I can understand the rationale but I don't think it will be effective. It has been my perspective that tribalism outweighs avoidance of hypocrisy.
Olberdouche often makes violent threats. He is gone. bye - hole.
Can it be audited, or is it a handmade tale?
It took 6 weeks for him to turn fascist and start to ban people who make him look bad.
Elon's thin skin is pretty well known, it seems like he has started to let his free speech mask slip.
As Libs of TikTok tweeted...
"Twitter is a Private Company"
remember?
I recall leftists saying "it's a private company"
Meet the new 'Rules for Radicals'.
Same as the old rules and about damn time.
Keith Olbermann has been reporting the location of Musk’s private jet.
At least in this case, Musk is trying to stymie a potential assassination attempt.
Let's see how long that blanket denial holds up.
I’m so old I remember when Twitter was a private company and could ban anyone it liked.
Within the last hour, the billionaire tweeted, "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."
Shortly after, Musk followed up with another tweet, "Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood. Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family."

Banning people on Twitter is fascist? Did that just start, now that the leftists are unable to ban people on Twitter anymore?
No problem with it. These people are bat shit crazy. Many want him dead. He took their toy. All hes doing is exposing "conspiracy theories" that werent theories, they were fact.
The people who throw out the word fascist dont even know what the word means.
They should just bend over, put their masks on and shut the fuck up.
Could I swear?
Elon's toddler son was put in a dangerous situation with the help of Elonjet's real-time doxxing service.
Elon made clear that real-time doxxing would result in a ban. Because real-time doxxing put his toddler son in a dangerous situation.
These banned accounts all consciously and deliberately linked to the real-time doxxing service that put Elon's toddler son in a dangerous situation, behavior which it was made clear would result in a ban.
All the banned accounts supported banning for non-dangerous behavior, it was inevitable that they would think themselves above the rules and flout them to implicitly signal support for actual dangerous behavior and facilitate it. Good riddance.
"It took 6 weeks for him to turn fascist and start to ban people who make him look bad.
Elon's thin skin is pretty well known, it seems like he has started to let his free speech mask slip."
Yeah. People attacking your family and having others respond by making it easier for the next guy tends to do that to people. Weird.
Kieth Olberdouche
Mark - you OK with doxxing then?
Weren't you the one to tell us it's a private company?
he actually did post about the jet on another platform
which is included in the rules
Payback is a bitch.
Mark - do you understand the definition of fascism?
Seems pretty clear they all linked to real time Musk location which enabled a crazy person to attack the car Musk's son was a passenger in. Seems pretty clear terms of service violation. Musk has even said the information is fine if it's time delayed. Seems reasonable.
Elon's toddler son was put in a dangerous situation with the help of Elonjet's real-time doxxing service.
So, a prominent liberal JournoList who self-aborted by his own affirmative action to wield the double-edged scalpel.
Let's remember these guys haven't had a problem with posting addresses of SCOTUS. "it's public information!" My eye.
I wonder how these guys would feel about a Fauci tracker.
Tweeting public information easily available elsewhere on the internet is not doxxing. They are only accessing publicly available air traffic control data from websites and apps such as Fightradar24. As long as he flies his jet in controlled airspace, his jet must transmit that data.
How does that shoe fit now, leftists?
You have no one to blame but yourselves.
I'm amazed that they ever allowed accounts posting real time location info.

Look. An ignorant snarky post by prole.
Shocking.
Kevin posted: "Within the last hour, the billionaire tweeted, "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."
Dumb Lefty Mark and Earnest Prole hardest hit....besides Olberman.
The lefties are still very very angry that Musk is shutting down the Child Sexual Exploitation material that Twitter 1.0 purposely, and knowingly, allowed to flourish for years.
As if Twitter 1.0 was totally okay with groomers.
I happened to catch the Twitter Space (is that what you call the live thing) where journalists were crying in each other's arms about it, when Elon turned up for about two minutes and said, "it doesn't matter if you're a journalist, or a so-called journalist, you're... a citizen," you're just someone on Twitter, and you will get suspended if you dox, and he especially focused on real-time doxxing of locations. Not a crazy thing considering he's being stalked, harassed and jet-tracked. He also said--to paraphrase, I'm not sure he used this language but the gist was, being clever or cute by linking to a source that links to the real-time ElonJet tracking account doesn't exempt you.
He then summarily logged off the chat. The attendees were trying to ask him questions, some probably legit, but it only took a few seconds for that signature combination of smarminess and self-regard to set in. I would have left too.
Rupar is a liar- he knows why his account was suspended, and he is lying about it.
Musk's young son was put in a bad situation, perhaps as a direct result of these posters.
I suspect that Musk's reaction was instant rage. He's already talking about letting them all back in.
Frankly, if you maliciously screw with the family of the richest man in the world, your Twit privileges should be the last thing you worry about. He can easily disappear you, and your family, and your pets, and your friends, and your mailman, and . . .
FAFO.
Haha shut your mouth
I LOVE Elon Musk and Donald Trump
What a wonderful day

"Elon's toddler son was put in a dangerous situation with the help of Elonjet's real-time doxxing service."
So said Elmo the Twit after he doxed a driver who yelled at him on Wednesday by posting the man's license plate number.
BTW, Elonjet uses locations publicly posted online by tail number along with all other airplane landings. Perhaps the former "richest man in the world" could hire private jets to fly his family around.
Transference from one strongman hero to another. The mechanics may be mysterious but the response is totally predictable.
I would like to know more about this. Somehow I don't believe the information in the article covers the reality and reasoning behind the decision to ban them by Elon.
@Masscon, yes. I’ve read elsewhere online thst these accounts are banned for doxxing activities. Very good, if true. I imagine we shall learn more later today.
As you decry my use of the word fascist, you might want to be careful what you call doxxing (which doesn't usually include publicly accessible information anyone can search up by anyone at any time)
Meanwhile, Elon posted a photo of the car attackers license plate, which would be the same activity he is banning people for.

"Tweeting public information easily available elsewhere on the internet is not doxxing. They are only accessing publicly available air traffic control data from websites and apps such as Fightradar24. As long as he flies his jet in controlled airspace, his jet must transmit that data."
Publishing it (so that crazies can do harm to you or your family) is the exact definition of doxxing. Newspapers no longer print full addresses of subjects in their articles. It's called privacy. Thought you liberals were in love with it after conjuring it up in the Constitution.
Marcus B. THEOLDMAN
And some fool posted that he didn't see a police report so Musk must be lying. Musk's family or staff has a video of it ffs. And calling _that_ "doxxing" (because they got the license plate of the perp on video) is more horseshit.
Have a blessed day.

Something a progressive who cries about climate change says..????
Silencing the lying progressives is a good thing.
The Independent waddles in with half the story. Rupar posted a link to the verboten real-time ElonJet info. Rupar admitted it himself.

I have mixed feelings. I liked the "free for all" approach Musk was taking at first, but his son was accosted by an antifa nutcase. That can clarify a man's thinking.
Plus, there's hardly anybody around with the moral standing to complain. Least of all the people he's banning--they're all people who would be cheering this move if it were leveled against their political opponents.
In the end, as with so much else, I'm taking wait and see approach. Rupar violated the "no doxxing" rule. It wouldn't surprise me if all these other people did too.
gadfly said...BTW, Elonjet uses locations publicly posted online by tail number along with all other airplane landings.
The FAA disagrees with you. The story that it's publicly available? Turns out it's not. The plane is tracked through good old fashioned monitoring and sleuthing.
Kow Kollege Kieth is banned? Lol.
Remember when he said that the rejection rate at the school of agriculture was the same as that of Cornell’s university? Would that be the same quality of applicant, Kieth? That comment right there was the final proof to me that Keef wasn’t all that bright, just living off of being tall.
A real Bond villain would let his enemies continue to twerp messages, and then send their real-time location data to Jaws or Odd-job.
I was today years old when I learned that the First Amendment covered stalking and harassment, and that it applies to private companies. Oh yeah, and that physical attacks on the children of people Democrats don’t like are acceptable collateral damage of this right of stalking and harassment found in the constitution.
Given the enormous amount of people from who knows where wandering around who knows where in this country, I expect the previously chaotic summer of fire we've seenfrom Antifa to be the new normal. One wouldn't allow this invasion in a civilized society, but that time in America's history has passed. If you can make it to the fantail, join us in a chorus of "God Bless America".
Rupar in trouble. Patterico hardest hit.
It seems like most of the recent suspension criteria are viewpoint neutral, which undercuts claims of hypocrisy regarding freedom of speech.

private jets have tail numbers too
Tractor rupar lol
Musk is running a poll to ask if they shoul be reinstated”now” or in seven days. If the results factor into his decision then they get at least a one day suspension.
I doubt Must banned these doxxers at the behest of government officials. So his actions were those of a purely private actor and not fascism.
Patterico forgets he was swatted 12 years ago by a dangerous psycho
Posting the license plate of someone who committed a crime isn't doxxing Einsteins. The guy was on the hood of the car earlier, presumably trying to attack Elon, but actually attacking his child.
You guys are so boring.
’Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not’
Exactly what a strongman would say, right, Howie? lol
My extremely liberal goddaughter has a 4 year old daughter who said to me:
"Godgrandfather, I am extremely worried about these liberal journalists being silenced in the name of anti-doxxing. Does this mean that I can't tweet links to NORAD's Santa Tracker this year?"

This is not true.
The ElonJet account was using a workaround to get past the rules in place to prevent the real time information from being public.
It was just mere months ago that Gadfly was arguing for the right of twitter to censor anyone it wanted.
Now he is arguing an extreme case of the opposite and is cheering the attacks that result on his political opponents.
These leftist shitheads don't even pretend to have any honor or integrity. They are insects in the political world that just attack and sting their opponents with anything they can grab and not a single principle or any sense of decency whatsoever.
“Transference from one strongman hero to another. The mechanics may be mysterious but the response is totally predictable”
Yes, you’re so right.
Dumb Lefty Gadfly...er..Mark: "Meanwhile, Elon posted a photo of the car attackers license plate, which would be the same activity he is banning people for."
LOL
Just gonna let that one sit there for awhile.
Why should anyone care about these people having their accounts suspended? If their opinions are disliked by Twitter, they should be banned permanently. That is the standard these whiners support, so it should be applied against them.
"Tweeting public information easily available elsewhere on the internet is not doxxing."
Sorry, but words can be redefined in whatever way serves our interest.
Turnabout is fair play. For all the times I was banned for reposting dumb memes when I was on Facebook(Years ago now)...I don't give a shit that this is happening to the people that were happy that it was happening to me.

private jets have tail numbers too"
There's one thing you can count on with our lefty commenters. They practically zero technical acuity. Not only do all planes both public and private planes have tail numbers if they take off from a controlled airport,( the airport has a tower) they have to file a flight plan. A flight plan that says when you plan to leave, where you are going and when you plan to arrive.
The only exception to any of the above is in the case of ultra-light aircraft.
The thing about tracking a specific flight is that you don't know who is on that flight. A lot of people who own corporate-private- jets lease them out when they are not using them.
I just came on here to see how many people would be enjoying the delicious, heavy irony of reminding the Twitter-fascists about 'building their own social media platform' and 'private company does what it wants' and all of the other deeply unfair, partisan sneering that went on a few years ago as conservatives were banned for perfectly unoffensive content, except the wrong opinions.
Now: How many of these 'journalists' have come out in the past 2 weeks to provide comment on the unfolding 'Twitter Papers' story? How many of them came clean and said words to the effect of, 'my goodness, that was out of control', or 'how unfair, glad this is being revealed'. How many of them kept up the facade?
Musk laid out the rules publicly. He then banned the kid that was doing it. He then banned the 'journalists' that took the opportunity to re-tweet what got the kid banned, committing the same offense while being shrill about how unfair Elon is, picking on the kid. Too bad, so sad. Sounds like Musk has made it a one-week ban, unusually merciful for people that celebrated the lifetime ban of a sitting President.
Think of it as hierarchy.
It's like watching the playground at a middle school.
Rupar and Olbermann loved it when Antifa physically and violently attacked conservatives and Republicans. And showed up at SCOTUS justices homes and threatened them. And of course, LOVED IT when twitter banned anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton.
As Y/W said, both are liars. Both think they are Social Justice warriors in a "Culture war" and consider Musk their "Enemy". So, I don't believe a word they say. They didn't get banned for nothing. 100-1 they're either promoting the Leftwing "Twitter knockoff", or linking to Someone doxxing Musk's kids.
"Sorry, but words can be redefined in whatever way serves our interest."
Otherwise known as Rule 4.
Musk banned Keith Olbermann? The man who inspired George Orwell to put Big Brother's face THIS CLOSE to a camera?
Rupar and Olbermann loved it when Antifa physically and violently attacked conservatives and Republicans.
[Anti]fascists mobbing, trapping people in their vehicles. Some, Select [Black] Lives Matter intimidating families and residents. Progressives in left-field with wicked solutions.

Lefty Mark is opposed to the method crime stoppers has used for years. God forbid he should post a photo of the assailant.
Elon: “No doxxing. I meant it. FAFO.”
Journalists: FAed and FOed. “Waaah! You can’t do that to us!”
It was just mere months ago that Gadfly was arguing for the right of twitter to censor anyone it wanted.
does anyone ever wonder, if leftists get dizzy from their acrobatics ?

"Mommy, he hit me back!!"
You're just not very smart.
this leftist could give a flying fuck about the whole thing
Tweeting public information easily available elsewhere on the internet is not doxxing.
But location of Musk's jet is not public. The FAA sees to that.
Why must you people lie when it's so easy to prove you wrong? Are you really that dumb? Or dishonest?
Both?
'I never posted anything Elon Jet related or that could violate the policy about disclosing locations. Unless the policy is that you criticize Elon and you get banned,' Rupar told CNN’s Oliver Darcy
Too bad Rupar has a track record of lying.
Did Rupar post a link on twitter to the new doxxing site that was set up to let people know where Musk's plane was, after that account was kicked off of Twitter?
IOW, did Rupar deliberately violate the Twitter TOS, and then get punished for it?
Poor baby
Mark said...
It took 6 weeks for him to turn fascist and start to ban people who make him look bad.
So Mark now agrees that everyone who bans people from a social media site for saying things they disagree with is a fascist?
Which means Mark agrees that he himself is a supporter of fascists and fascism.
Thank you Mark for clearing that up

Yes, it is
The fact that person X has decided to dox someone, and therefore created a website to do so, does NOT mean you're not doxxing when you pass along that info, or links to that info.
Are you insane, or just a moron?

Jack Sweeney was not posting Public information
Sweeney was posting the private information of

Elon had a "PIA" which seeks to protect the privacy of entities using private aircraft.
Here's Sweeney admitting that Musk had a PIA, but Sweeney was working to get around it:

Bullshit
The fact that some other scumbags doxxed someone doesn't mean it's not doxxing for you to repeat it
Meanwhile, Elon posted a photo of the car attackers license plate, which would be the same activity he is banning people for.
Doxxing criminals caught in the act, so they can be arrested, tried, and convicted, is a public spirited act
Which I guess is why you hate it.
This isn't difficult, if you're not in intolerant bully and amoral scum
People are allowed to disagree with you
People are allowed to say things you dont' like
your'e not allowed to try to get people killed / censored for doing that
At least, if you do, it's because you are scum
This is entirely different from harming people because of their criminal activities
Getting a photo taken of the perp that might have done harm to Elon's son -- oh, how horrible, he was "doxxed" by these idiot libs that love redefining things to fit their purposes. You know, like "what is a woman?"
Anyway, if some unknown asshat climbed on a car with the probably intent of harming my one remaining daughter, my first inclination would be to shoot him with my S&W .38 Special. My second inclination would be to shoot him dead. People like that who FA may find themselves FO in a lethal manner.

All these people defending Elon doxxing someone's license plate... for something he never filed a police report on.
I can see your heads bobbing over Elon's crotch as we speak. Just because Trump lost your adoration does not mean you need to bend over for the next internet troll to arrive. Sheesh, have some standards.
I regard Rupar as an unreliable narrator.
Nice to see Ernest Prole is still willing to dive in without evidence, unwilling to wait for an explanation. In there first, wrong and baseless.
Rupar did post the link, he is lying. And of course lots of Musk critics were not banned, but like EP so many don’t need evidence or logic.
Mark was silent when the FBI was helping twitter shut down the rest of America, but now that Elon is protecting his family from Antifa scum, little Mark is all upset that lying journalists are getting suspended for 7 days for not following the rules, that they used to censor the rest of America. Mark is a good little comrade who is a willing little serf for the government to shut down free speech. Good boy. Here is a pat on the head.
“Given the enormous amount of people from who knows where wandering around who knows where in this country, I expect the previously chaotic summer of fire we've seenfrom Antifa to be the new normal. One wouldn't allow this invasion in a civilized society, but that time in America's history has passed. If you can make it to the fantail, join us in a chorus of "God Bless America".”
I find the differences between the summers of 2020 and 2022 interesting. There was almost no AntiFA (and their BLM minions) riots last summer, while they were continuous throughout the run up to the 2020 election. Last summer there was almost complete silence, with FJB in the White House, Dems trying to maintain control in Congress, and Dems preparing to steal control of several states through massive election fraud. They just did not want to bring out the Law and Order vote in these purple states. That very strongly suggests that it is all physical, and the Dems in charge can, and do, green light and red light AntiFA and their violence. But there are still occasional reminders that AntiFA is still out their continuing to train and up arm themselves. Or, more realistically, be up armed. Little different from Hitler’s Brown Shirts and the (then) Leninist AntiFA of the 1930s - leashed and released, as needed. Now, many of them have matching black uniforms, with matching black helmets and ballistic shields, with the Hammer and Sickle prominently displayed. And nowhere to go do their violence.
Musk bought Twitter, and fired many, if not most of the wokesters who had made Twitter the power that it was for leftists. Some still remain, but are getting smoke out (e.g. top attorney Jim Baker) and fired alongside their brethren. No one liked this on the left. They were losing one of their major weapons. Maybe they could economically hurt Musk by burning down Tesla dealerships. It was suggested to AntiFA, and they got excited. Something to burn down!!! Except, as they were used to, they tried to organize through Twitter. And forgot two things - that Musk now owned Twitter, and that he was a lot smarter than they were. He summarily squashed (but probably didn’t fully eliminate) their ability to use Twitter for that. Now AntiFA used the ability of Twitter to facilitate real time doxing of their enemies to physically threaten Musk and his family. Standard practice in the past. Musk came down on that with a hammer, making doxing in real time much harder.
The thing that must be remembered is that the job of these journalists here is to run cover for the Dem’s shock troops - AntiFA, etc. They are trying to justify the tools used by AntiFA by trying to take the moral high ground through appeals to Freedom of the Press. Except that it is transparent. They don’t need, or really use that often, real time doxing. They don’t really need to know where Musk, or any of their other enemies, are located on a real time basis. It rarely benefits them as journalists. AntiFA does.
As a side note, tracking plane numbers has for some time been a tool used by the conspiracy minded right. Except that it is usually not used to track individuals (except maybe to track who is attending leftist confabs like environmental summits and the like, mostly to see who attended somewhat secretly). It is primarily focused on tracking what the federal government is up to. By now they know what a bunch of fighters being dispatched means, as well as transport planes all going somewhere. And it can often be surmised what they are bringing by where they came from. They can tell when FBI, HLS, etc are coming to town. Like for the MAL raid in FL. Etc. The Feds are constantly moving assets around, in the background, and much of it never makes it into the MSM. That’s something that these “journalists” probably should be tracking tail numbers for, but studiously don’t. I notice though that while the tracking is somewhat real time, the analysis takes time, to see flight patterns, and likely doesn’t cross Twitter’s immediacy rule as a result. Was this Musk threading the needle?

Are you really as much of a moron as you are acting?
"Doxxing" is saying "Joe Blow owns a silver 2022 BMW XXX, with license plate YYY".
It attaches information to person X, for the purpose of giving other people a chance to hunt down and illegally harm person X
"Unknowing individual with this license plate cut off my car and made me drive into a ditch"
This is not doxxing. You dont' know who the person is who did this thing, you're trying to figure it out, using what information you had.
Are you really such a mindless and ignorant buffoon that all you're capable of doing is take whatever word your betters are using, and try to throw it at them, like a 3 year old shouting "you're a poopoo head!"?
Gee, Musk didn't file a police report in a place where Soros prosecutor Gascone gets to decide if someone will be prosecuted. Which is to say, Musk isn't a moron, and doesn't waste his time on pointless acts.
Shits to give: 0
If Musk is lying about the person in the photo, she will be able to sue him for a LOT of money, and win. Do let us know about the lawsuit
