Elon Musk Claims Apple Has 'Mostly Stopped' Offering Ads on Twitter and Is Making Moderation Demands

No, they didn't. Again, a month before the suspensions, Elon specifically said the elonjet posts would be allowed.
Correct he did. We agreed on that earlier today. That, in my opinion, was a mistake by Musk and assume he thinks so too. Again, it appears his son being accosted in Los Angeles shook him up. I don’t blame him.
I understand you don’t think so, but they did. And Musk pointed out that cleaver journalism linking to Sweeney’s account is the same as posting the location directly.
They will serve their suspension unless Musk waives it early. The message from Twitter is unambiguous.
Great. So why'd you ask?
Journalists reporting on an account that is specifically allowed is somehow a violation? That's a ridiculous interpretation. And again, the change to the TOS came out AFTER the suspensions.
I asked nothing. I replied to what you wrote.
They linked to elonjet in their reports covering Sweeney’s accounts being suspended. I’m guessing Musk has made his point.
Actually ‘sharing personal media, such as images or videos, can potentially violate a person’s privacy, and may lead to emotional or physical harm’ was added to the Twitter policy in January 2022. They just amended the policy to call out doxxing with specificity and more emphasis.
You asked for an example.
Yes. They linked to an account that was, as far as they knew, perfectly acceptable. As stated by Musk. Do you call that "fair" enforcement?
And the CEO said that posting this specific flight information would not be considered a violation of this policy. I'd certainly call changing an interpretation of a policy without telling anyone and then suspending people "unfair".
Relax, they will be back in a few days. It’s just Twitter. It not like….he permanently banned the president.
To which you replied referencing the journalists being suspended; which I then said who had violated the TOS. Then came the part where we agreed. I was part of the conversation. Please don’t resort to this form of silliness.
They were all treated the same. I imagine if the NYT, WSJ, or Fox would have posted a link to elonjet along with them they’d have been suspended as well. So, yeah. It was fairly or equally enforced. What you want to be arguing is fair notice. Fair enforcement? Yeap.
What Musk had said was that he would allow the account tracking his private plane to remain on Twitter, though he said it amounted to a security threat.
“My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk.”
He clearly reversed himself there and speculation is it has something to do with his son being recently accosted.

Okay? Are you following the conversation? You asked for an example of what I considered unfair. I told you. You then said we'd already discussed it. So I asked why you asked for an example when we'd already discussed an example.
That's not what I asked at all.
lol thunderfoot. such an unreliable source of information.
remember when he calculated boring company's capacity to be about 1,500/hr and then the LVCVA confirms Boring Company did 4,400/hr?
or when thunderfoot calculated semi as a failure but an actual engineer did the math:
or when thunderfoot concluded starlink isn't feasible, but turns out thunderfoot used bogus numbers https://littlebluena.substack.com/p/thunderf00t-busted
Yep, the guy is quite dangerous, he sometimes has right ideas but he’s mostly an entertainer feeding hate to his audience by repeating poorly sourced stuff over and over as if the sheer power of arrogance could make you right about everything.
When he tries to make things look scientific with “experiments”, results are truly pathetic.
