On: Twitter has re-suspended ElonJet account

[meepmorp]

That's exactly what happened - I clicked earlier, and then again just now. It was unbanned then rebanned pretty quickly.

This is amazing.

[colordrops → meepmorp]

They did this so they could say they banned it due to their new rule against location sharing, rather than Elon's personal vendetta.

[meepmorp → colordrops]

That's such a stupid explanation that it's probably true.

[colordrops → meepmorp]

It would make sense if they had to scrub logs and emails for legal reasons in the future.

[Sebb767 → colordrops]

IANAL, but Twitter is a private company fully owned by Musk. This might be a publicity disaster, but legally they should be fully in the clear.

[consp → Sebb767]

Is the spoilation of evidence not evidence of the original issue itself in civil cases?

[colordrops → Sebb767]

I was going to say "legal or PR reasons" but was too lazy to type it out.

Should anyone care?

The person who’s trying to fashion himself a free speech liberator while being a capricious egomaniac who invents transparently post-hoc justifications for his selfish hypocrisy on a platform with world changing impact and expects the same world to just accept his manufactured reality because he’s used to getting his way… yeah, that seems important to me.

[meepmorp → postalrat]

Maybe

[anigbrowl → colordrops]

Or the remaining Twitter staff are tripping over each other trying to interpret the master's wishes.
