Why?

She made her name doxxing people (LibsofTikTok being one of the more egregious examples). California has a law against doxxing.

I personally think it's stupid, but my opinion doesn't matter. I do see the irony though with how vocal the ban complaints are now that the other side is getting the same treatment. I just think it won't matter. Nobody is going to self-reflect and suddenly understand why it was wrong then if its wrong now. So then all you do is end up playing in the mud with the other pigs. It's short sighted.

Sounds like that's the claimed justification, but the reality is what she says in her substack, he got mad at her and then looked for a reason/justification to punish her.

He just torched even more good will imo and actually allowed her to seem righteous. I guess some time has allowed him to realize this was idiotic. What a stupid unforced error on Musk's part.

This freedom of speech thing is going swimmingly.

This also follows the pattern of journalists who report directly on him being suspended - Linette Lopez of Business Insider is still suspended.

Yeah it's almost like things that affect you personally are more likely to come to your attention.

It is for people who don't doxx. Elon's detractors who haven't are still there.

Doesn't appear she was doxxing anyone on twitter though.

And Elon will let you know his updated definition of doxxing as soon as he needs to come up with an excuse for his next high profile banning.

bitlax2• 4 years ago

It really is. Protected political speech is much easier to have and the liberal doxxers are being punished.

RavingGoat• 4 years ago

Libs of TikTok is still up. They doxx constantly. Why are the conservatives the only ones allowed to doxx?

It’s interesting that snide comments like this get pinned to the top while my own comments get removed + personal warnings from Dang.

HN mod bias is thick. Fortunately many of the users are able to think for themselves and can see through the rot.
