Hey Orwin, I've found why Chad Loder was banned: https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1611107762775228420 (Sorry for offtopic here, original thread is closed, and I don't have your other contacts.)

So did he doxx her or didn't he? Maybe he did something else, and that is bad, but let's not move goalposts. > he retweeted someone who doxxed her email address "Doxxing" for revealing email address a bit exaggeration

Can you quote from the article please? Because I don't see it. The closest I get is this: > she accuses Musk of having 'always' doxxed people in an attempt to silence critics of his treatment of employees

Perhaps because not a lot of people posted links to their new profiles on Facebook and Facebook did not consider that a threat. But Facebook bans links to Telegram in WhatsApp. Also Facebook ranks posts with links to Twitter (or YouTube) lo

chadloder seems like a decent person. I'd like to know what Elon or Twitter has on him. Musk promised that everyone will get explanation why they were banned. I'm waiting for it. > It's clearly political. It may be persona

I think it was this: she tagged Elon (and emailed him), so he went looking at her account. Found some older posts and reported them (maybe his assistant did that). And the account was banned until the links are removed by the account owner

I'm not sure that is true. And she is unsuspended already. Here's her explanation why https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/status/1604559889585410048 Here's Musk explanation: https://twitter.

Can you name the journalists please and some proofs of your accusations? If true, this is serious, but I cannot take it at face value.

The article is propaganda junk. Did not read every accusation from it, but it mention for example, Andy Ngo and VPS_Report. Here is the tweet about both of them: https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/159455057538307

This is not exactly free speech issue, because Twitter does not ban based on political preferences/opinions. This is dishonest competition (all other major companies do the same but not as blunt: Facebook, Google, Amazon for example).

You use very uncommon (or I'd say, left-leaning) definition of "extremism". Basically, expressing opinion you disagree with, is extremism.

No, I'm referring to the other guys. People change mind even if facts do not change.

There's non-zero number of people who are not able to enter these three queries in google, and may have desire to act on that information.

Why? If one wants to harass Musk, meeting him at the airport is convenient.

Doxxing is a common attack on people who are guilty of wrongspeak. I have no strong opinion about how doxxing relates to free speech, but desire to hide your private life is understandable, and I don't see any benefit for the society f

Did these "attack" include realtime doxxing? Especially after TOS modified to prohibit it? Or can you give other examples of disparity between free speech rule applications for themselves and people they don't like?

It is more nuanced than that. Professional criminals won’t have trouble locating Musk, but nut job activists may be not that smart and providing them location actually increases risk for Musk.

Tim Pool is swatted regularly for example. Tucker Carlson had to move after his home was attacked. There was an attack on Brett Kavanaugh. There’s a lot of such stories.

You don’t have to attack a jet in the airport. You can attack a car on the only road from the airport for example if you know exactly when and where to attack. (Also, not all the airports have good security, smaller airports don’t.)

Sony could be smart, for example keep existing price as is, but also offering “premium” version for higher price but with delivery this week. This would kill scalpers.

Heating is an accessory like floor mat, it can be easily added or removed in 2 minutes. No, I don’t believe they try to save on production, but try to take last penny from a consumer: when you know you already have heater installed, you are
