Twitter's new head of trust and safety has invited QAnon-adjacent and publicity-hungry anti-trafficking group OUR (the subject of a criminal probe believed to be ongoing) to discuss a partnership. OUR tells me and it's "delighted" by the offer.

The replies to his tweet are just full of people trying to ID the guy and making all sorts of claims about who it is based on the flimsiest of evidence. Another one government regulators will lap up.

The project to reshape into the global town square is going really well. Trouble is the town square is now overrun with heavily armed apocalyptic wingnuts and everyone else is running for cover…

Musk has become so popular in QAnon circles that some regard him, not Trump, as the savior-like figure they’ve been waiting for, writes Drew Harwell for The Washington Post. buff.ly/3VPFtPr

Trying to tie Sweeney aggregating 100% public, legally available airplane data with this alleged incident involving a *car* is beyond dishonest, as is the notion that he's done something legally actionable. Is he going to sue his own jet's transponder for "doxing" him too?

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.

I'm desperately bored of Elon news cycles but this obviously pretextual, post-hoc change to policies to protect his own private jet info is hilarious and makes the stuff exposed in the Twitter Files look like an absolute model of considered, deliberative policy-making.

I've been following real time updates to Alexey Navalny's arrival in Moscow, waiting at Vnukovo airport for him alongside thousands of democratic supporters who were doing the same, storming the airport even if the police banned entry. Elon Musk would be joining the police there.

Real-time posting of someone else’s location violates doxxing policy, but delayed posting of locations are ok

So the people who were following Navalny's plane and posting its location when he was returning to Russia after being poisoned would have all been at risk of being suspended under this new policy.
