Now why would Elon Musk, self-proclaimed Free Speech Absolutist, have that account suspended?
Good question. Maybe the same reason why Elon “humour is now legal again” Musk can’t take a little teasing?
He’s not tracking Elon’s jet. The activity of Elon’s jet is already public information. All he’s doing is republishing it on a widely used platform.
The ridiculous thing about his claim of ‘doxxing’ and ‘assassination coordinates’ is yeah, it’s all public on the FAA website, and anyone who was trying to stalk him or whatever would just look there. The tracking Twitter account was basically just niche celebrity news.
Try explaining that to Elon, “the world’s smartest man”
The flap that Musk made about that led to one of the most ridiculously dumb phrases he has said yet: “assassination coordinates”.
This is definitely the reason why Elon bought twitter.
They’ve also been on Mastodon since Dec '22
Yes, not sure why the Guardian is reporting on this. I’m not even sure Threads is available in Britain.
It’s The Guardian, they were probably paid to advertise for Threads
Threads is having problems with EU regulation, not the UK.
Yeah unfortunately being on Threads doesn’t guarantee that the information would be public. I think this news is only relevant to the few who have joined Threads.
They’ve also been on Mastodon (@elonjet@mastodon.social) for about 8 months with 66k followers already
This is why competition in the online space is essential and we need strong regulation to kill the network effects that keep Twitter and reddit afloat.
A platform should not be able to unilaterally censor anyone.
For platforms with an amount of users in many millions, we need regulations on who can be banned, and for what reasons you can’t.
The data is public, the feed just only prints out publicly available flight data - if Elon wants privacy, he should just charter a private jet used by other billionare dickheads, it’s not exactly a hardship now is it
There is a difference between keeping tabs on someone & stalking/harassment.
I don’t like the Elon jet tracker stuff, I’m more a fan of privacy.It’s not stalking though, if he wanted privacy he could fly on a normal commercial plane like everyone else.
This is the way.

Except flight data has no expectations of privacy.
Your airplane is legally required to broadcast its location in the USA. For safety reasons. Everyone with a private jet has that private jet constantly broadcasting its location.

All your public comments have been replicated here thanks to Fediverse.
I presume you know about this, right? That’s how this place works. Every server in the federation is copying, saving, and holding onto your posts. It’d be insane to be worried about this. Seriously.

I know what you’re trying to say. But your analogy is pretty crap, so I’m not going to cede you the point.
Find a better analogy.
It’s about as much of an invasion of privacy as posting the weather. It’s publicly available information.
