I'm skeptical of the rationale given for banning the journalists who posted Elon's private jet info or whatever, but if it's true that they're only banned for 7 days, the upside at least is that "permabans" aren't going to presumptively be the norm anymore

"Doxxing" has become a nonsense term that just means whatever somebody wants it to mean in any given circumstance. Are we supposed to believe that Musk was being dangerously "doxxed" by the Federal Aviation Administration every single day prior to this random week in December

You can go right now to Hollywood and take a guided tour of celebrity mansions, addresses included. Those celebrities aren't being "doxxed" if a tour participant tweets about it. There's really no coherent definition of the term anymore, if there ever was. Just lots of whining

I went to Biden’s vacation house in Rehoboth Beach, DE in April 2020 and posted a photo. Was I “doxxing” him? Give me a break

There also used to be something called the "phone book" where everybody had their phone numbers and addresses publicly listed. The entire nation was "doxxed"

So if I saw that Joe Biden was at the house, and tweeted about it, I would've been "doxxing" poor old Joe Biden. What a joke

Next time you happen to see a celeb, politician, or other notable figure walking down the street "in real time" DO NOT tweet about it, because now you're "doxxing" them and calling for them to be assassinated
