Considering the fact that most people here don't consider doxing to be freedom of speech, I don't see what the problem is with this account being banned (Assuming of course that Musk himself actually banned it and it wasn't removed by another staff member or by algorithmic defenses).

"Its open source data!" So are the (perfectly legal) doxes on Kiwifarms, yet that's one of the largest reasons its vilified.

Additionally, I doubt most people here would be okay with another person very closely watching your movements including this kid if Musk decided to beat him at his own game by setting up cameras around his house (Funny what you can do with enormous amounts of money). Musk is still human whether you like billionaires or not. You'd think that a place like this would be more privacy-oriented and wouldn't be okay with any kinds of telemetry period, or at the very least would want it handled more carefully (Plane data handled by in-house FAA units rather that broadcasted to the web for anyone and everyone to see).



The issue isn't with censoring, the issue is censoring after crying about censorship.


Many people don't consider some forms of hate speech and indirect threats of violence free speech either.
