I wonder what will happen when people start posting NORAD Santa tracking updates?

Excellent!
Indeed, Norad itself has a Santa tracker on Twitter.
You can imagine the result if they get banned.
"Unfortunately, one of our ballistic missiles appears to have gone off course and landed on Elon's house.
On the plus side, there is now a new 120 foot deep reservoir to ease the water shortage, and the Santa Tracker has been restored"

I guess it will depend on whether SC is considered left/right wing/Rep or Dem/M or F or 'other' or whatever bête noires inhabit Musk land?

Or perhaps utilize his jet for a little real life air to air or ground to air training.

Twitter suspends journalists who have been covering Elon Musk and the company
Thursday's suspensions come as Musk has backtracked on his promise that he would run Twitter as a free speech absolutist.

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-med ... -rcna62032

Twitter suspended several high-profile journalists Thursday evening who have been covering the company and Elon Musk.

The suspensions come a day after Twitter changed its policies around accounts that track private jets, including one owned by Elon Musk.

The accounts of Ryan Mac of The New York Times, Donie O'Sullivan of CNN, Drew Harwell of The Washington Post, Matt Binder of Mashable, Micah Lee of The Intercept and independent journalists Aaron Rupar, Keith Olbermann and Tony Webster had all been suspended as of Thursday evening.

The Twitter account for Mastodon, a platform billed as an alternative, was also suspended early Thursday evening.

It was not immediately clear why the accounts were suspended, though some had been tweeting about the suspension of the Twitter account that tracked Musk's jet, @ElonJet, and its availability on Mastodon.

As of Thursday evening, Twitter accounts operated by NBC News journalists were unable to tweet a link to the Mastodon account of @ElonJet.

A spokesperson for The New York Times who called the suspensions questionable and unfortunate said that no explanation was provided to Mac or the news organization about the ban.

“We hope that all of the journalists’ accounts are reinstated and that Twitter provides a satisfying explanation for this action,” said Charlie Stadtlander, communications director for the Times.

Lee said in a text message that before the suspension he had attempted to tweet out a link to the Mastodon account that tracked Musk’s jet but was unable to and instead tweeted a screenshot.

Rupar wrote on Substack that his account was permanently suspended but that he had no other information.

"I haven’t heard anything from Twitter at all," he wrote.

He noted that he had tweeted a link Wednesday to a Facebook page that tracked Musk’s jet.

Musk tweeted Wednesday evening: "Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation. This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info."

The suspensions come as Musk has backtracked on his promise that he would run Twitter as a free speech absolutist, reinstating accounts associated with the QAnon movement and other far-right groups while banning others.

Internally, he has removed critics of his policies from the company.

The suspensions add to what has been a tumultuous couple of days for Twitter after the company first suspended the account that tracked Musk’s jet.

Musk appeared to threaten legal action against its creator, Jack Sweeney, a 20-year-old Florida college student, after Musk claimed a “stalker” confronted a car carrying his child in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Musk provided no proof that Sweeney or his account was involved. He did not provide a time or location in the sprawling metropolitan area where the claimed incident occurred.

Sweeney told NBC News on Wednesday that he hasn’t received any notification of legal action, and the last time his bot tweeted anything was Dec. 12, “which is not last night, so I don’t get how that’s connected.”

The Los Angeles Police Department said Thursday that no police reports had been filed.

“LAPD’s Threat Management Unit is aware of the situation and tweet by Elon Musk and is in contact with his representatives and security team. No crime reports have been filed yet,” Officer Lizeth Loeni, a police public information officer, said in a statement Thursday evening.

There are other law enforcement departments that also cover parts of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

How is it legal to track private planes like Elon Musk's?
Twitter’s decision to ban accounts that tracked private planes, including one tracking its new CEO, has prompted questions about what flight information is publicly available.

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/busine ... -rcna61996

How is it legal to track someone's private jet?

It's a question that has emerged in light of Twitter's decision to ban accounts that tracked private planes, including one — @ElonJet — that reported the flight activity of its own CEO, Elon Musk.

The owner of the @ElonJet account, Jack Sweeney, has previously said that all the information he used to create the account is publicly available. Sweeney did not respond to a request for additional comment.

Although the data used to operate the @ElonJet account and other similar accounts tracking celebrity planes is publicly accessible, experts note there is not a single government registry of such data.

Instead, it actually requires an individual to put together separate pieces of information to create tracking accounts. Doing so, of course, raises privacy concerns.

The tracking capabilities are possible thanks to a technology called Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B). It's like global positioning system (GPS) technology, but on steroids. Every three seconds, ADS-B equipment on a plane sends out real-time data not just about the aircraft's location, but also its altitude, velocity and other critical elements of its journey. This has two main purposes: To avoid mid-air collisions and to allow people on the ground to know where an airplane is at all times.

For decades, aircraft traveling outside of radar view were exposed to long stretches — over oceans, deserts, mountains — where no one knew where the plane was. This issue reached a chilling turning point in 2014, when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared from radar while carrying 239 passengers and crew over the Andaman Sea off the Malay Peninsula, culminating in the most expensive airplane search effort in modern history.

ADS-B technology is now mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration on all aircraft to avoid such events.

But ADS-B technology also allows airplanes to be easily tracked by anyone with a compatible receiver. And if you're able to crowdsource enough additional information about an airplane, like its tail number and its previous locations, you can figure out who is likely using the plane, said Preston Holland, chief operating officer at Flying Media Group.

And that's where a website like ADSBExchange.com comes in. It's an online forum for aviation enthusiasts that has also become a central clearinghouse for digital sleuths looking to figure out who may be flying, and where.

The website's founder, Dan Streufert, told NBC News the site is not explicitly designed for gawking at celebrities' whereabouts.

"All these folks send data in, we aggregate the info and put it on a map," Streufert said. "The purpose of this is not for being a paparazzi. It’s for aviation enthusiasts."

The website is where Sweeney appears to have sourced some of the information used to set up the @ElonJet tracking account.

Streufert acknowledged that many airplane owners have reasonable privacy concerns. But when it comes to removing sensitive information from the website, he said it does not seek to be an arbiter of data that is widely accessible.

"It gets into who’s right and wrong," Streufert said. "When the war in Ukraine started, we got Russian oligarchs saying, 'Hey, hide my jet.' I don’t want to be taking sides."

He continued: "We publish everything, and it already is public data. We're not sharing anything you couldn't find from many other sources."

But other flight-tracking websites, like FightRadar.com and FlightAware.com, do actively suppress flight information from planes whose operators have asked the FAA to block their registration number from public view.

However, since ADSBExchange.com does not rely on FAA feeds but instead on individual site users, it is not bound by that program.

The FAA has another program that allows planes to encode their ADS-B signals so they cannot be matched to other information in the publicly available Civil Aviation Registry.

It is unclear whether Musk and his plane's operator participated in either the registration blocking program or the ADS-B signal encoding one. The Tesla, Twitter and SpaceX CEO could not be reached for comment.

In many cases, Streufert said, other high-profile individuals do not appear to take advantage of such programs.

"Which is surprising," Streufert said. "A lot are vocal about the privacy issue, and sometimes they don’t seem to be doing all they can to prevent this kind of thing."

And so the Soviet style censorship continues in the "free" west long after the fall of communism, so why are we copying and implementing the techniques?

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/12/27/lat ... t-doctors/

The crunch is the suppression of true (CDC) info as it was "inconvenient";

:---"In the latest instalment of the Twitter Files, journalist David Zweig laid bare how both the Trump and Biden administrations pressured Twitter executives to censor information that was “true but inconvenient”.

Using their pull, Zweig writes, the government was able to discredit doctors and experts, and suppress ordinary users’ freedom of speech on Twitter – even if they were citing the Center for Disease Control’s own data.---:"

'Quelle surprise' that you should buy lock stock, and two smoking vaccine needles into the tangled agglomeration of crap that comprises the so-called Twitter Files barkingmad!

One has to question Musk's motives in releasing this stuff, as he desperately sought to smear the Twitter executives he had just fired, to prove their malfeasance and thus justify his subsequent actions which have gutted the company he purchased and resulted in a calamitous drop in the Tesla stock price as well. Perhaps all the bog washings little Elon was given at Bryanston High School did cerebrally damage the tedious tick's little brain.
The installment releases have been criticized for alleged shortcomings, including exaggerating the contents' significance, omissions of context, outright mendacity, partial reporting, conclusions reached in the reporting with counterclaims against, and described as "an egregious example of the very phenomenon it purports to condemn — that of social-media managers leveraging their platforms for partisan ends"
If this is the only "proof" that you can adduce as evidence of the conspiracy theory you promote barkingmad, then I suggest that you retreat in grave embarrassment and rethink your position!

Which is why I normally refer to it as "Twatter" and I am still not a registered user nor am I likely to become one.

Why one quotes 'Wiki" as the source of truth and accuracy leaves me wondering at your "research"?

https://listverse.com/2020/03/13/top-10 ... wikipedia/

And I made my post to illustrate the current febrile atmosphere and practice of censorship relating to 'plague' matters and I care not a jot what happens to Twatter executives and their spat with Musk.

Anyway, it must be true if the Daily Wail "has summarised the highlights"..... =))

Maybe Twatter might be improved once the Augean Stables have been cleaned out?

"“Censorship Killed Millions. Free Speech Saves Lives”: Celebrating the Return of Dissenting Voices to Twitter.
Voltaire, the clearest of Enlightenment thinkers, wrote in 1765: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”

250 odd years later, these words resonate possibly louder now than they did then. Controlling ‘the Narrative’ via propaganda and suppression of dissent has always been central to enacting tyrannical measures, but never before have those in power had at their disposal such potent levers of ubiquitous modern technology and communication to enforce global censorship. As the world begins to wake up to the devastating effects of the past three years surrounding the emergence of COVID-19 and the response measures enacted by our governments, it is now beyond doubt that this censorship has cost the lives and livelihoods of millions of people across the globe.

The harms that resulted because debate around the Government’s disastrous response was shut down are legion – increased poverty, lower education achievement, loss of employment, closure of small businesses and deaths from other diseases to name a few. Most of this was, and is, entirely predictable and the potential harms were highlighted from the beginning by concerned experts across many disciplines, including numerous highly credentialed doctors and scientists. It is hard to know where to start with the examples of deliberate, coordinated attacks on medical experts who were merely expressing opinions on what they were witnessing in their hospitals, based on what they had been taught, or how they were successfully treating Covid patients. But perhaps one of the first and most blatant blows to the pursuit of truth came in the collusion of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Francis Collins, Sir Jeremy Farrar, Sir Patrick Vallance, Sir Chris Whitty and their cohort to squash dissenting views on lockdowns and smear the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD) as “fringe epidemiologists”.

In an email to Fauci about the GBD, Collins wrote: “There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises.” The pattern was already set – ad hominem attacks on anyone who contradicted ‘the Narrative’, suppression and censorship across multiple social media platforms and perhaps most sinister of all, threats of professional tribunals and the removal of credentials and licences to practise medicine. By making examples of those brave enough to speak up, a culture of fear and censorship has muted the very people that you would expect to speak up for their patients.

The weaponisation of fear was allowed to go into overdrive when these same individuals and organisations dismissed and buried the emergence of information regarding very successful early treatment protocols from doctors treating patients earlier in 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, with what they saw (as they were taught) in front of them in symptomatic patients. Instead of trying to allay the public’s fears, medics, scientists, academics and others were discouraged from and even threatened for entertaining the possibility that generic medicines with impeccable safety records could be used in sequence to successfully treat the symptoms of COVID-19. With hands tied, mouths gagged and principles firmly pushed aside, doctors were instructed by those in authority to send their patients home with no treatment protocol and tell them, in not so many words, only to come back when their lips turned blue from lack of oxygen.

In the place of what was commonly understood to be the ‘scientific method’ – fully open and transparent, always challenging at the edges – came an industry of ‘fact checkers’ deployed by media organisations and social media platforms. This gave rise to the absurdity of an army of generally under-qualified and anonymous employees making pronouncements on the veracity of the claims of professors, Noble prize winners and other highly qualified and questioning people. Big Tech companies cloaked themselves with a thin illusion of impartiality when in reality Government agencies were directing policy and decisions behind the scenes. Here again the manipulation of discourse was ensured by the introduction of a whole new vocabulary of ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’. Pejorative terms designed to stop debate in its tracks – ‘conspiracy theorist’, ‘anti-vaxxer’, ‘Covidiot’ – made frequent appearances in the mainstream media and by force of repetition helped suppress the appetite of the public at large to dare to engage in any independent critical thought of their own.

Yet in the past few weeks many of these fearless medics and scientists have once again found themselves able to engage in the public conversation. What changed?

The acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk has thrown a spanner in the works of those who endorse censorship to reinforce ‘the Narrative’. Using his business smarts, Mr. Musk is doing a full audit of his new company and sharing the results with the rest of the world. Exposing the shenanigans of the previous management (‘Twitter 1.0’) both draws a line under the corruption that took place and sets the direction of travel towards ensuring that Twitter becomes a trusted platform and, to quote Mr. Musk, the “town square” for open debate, information, networking and commerce (‘Twitter 2.0’)." :-?

Having had a chance to look under the bonnet of Twitter, Elon Musk said:

Almost every conspiracy theory that people had about Twitter turned out to be true. Is there a conspiracy theory about Twitter that didn’t turn out to be true? So far, they’ve all turned out to be true. And if not, more true than people thought.
Government collusion via the FBI and other agencies can no longer be denied. Money has been exchanged between Government agencies and Big Tech to selectively dial down or dial up voices on social media in support of the current political narrative. If this is true for Twitter, we can likely extrapolate across all Big Tech companies, while mainstream media are known to receive multi-year Government advertising contracts for hundreds of millions of dollars, compromising their ability to operate in the best interests of their users.

To celebrate the restoration of previously censored accounts and the renewal of free speech online, on Sunday January 8th 2023 at 3pm EST USA, 8pm London, we will be hosting a Twitter Spaces event: “Censorship Killed Millions. Free Speech Saves Lives.” Join us to hear the censorship stories of several public figures, including Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Ryan Cole, Steve Kirsch, Prof. Thomas Borody, Dr. Sabine Hazan, Dr. Jackie Stone, Dr. Richard Urso and more."

But will the abdominal Truss, who desperately needs to visit that old London firm Rigby & Pellor for a personalised fitting, be as good as the new golden catch who will reverse the fortunes of Twatter?;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65640622

But at least the infamous ‘glass ceiling’, which traditionally has kept ‘wimmin’ from achieving their ambitions and toppling the male, stale & pale edifice, has just been cracked again, so can we hope for new sunlit uplands upon which Twatter will reign supreme?

But of course the entire glass ceiling legend relies on the definition of “woman”, something which seems to inflict speech paralysis on far too msny of our current crop of politicos in the Western world.

Unlike our wild-eyed hairy-faced fundamentalists who seem to know exactly what that elusive creature is and whose interests the West have turned their backs as it’s all too difficult… ~X(

Suspended Twitter account tracking Elon Musk’s jet moves to Threads

ElonJet has tracked the movements of Musk’s private jet using data available in the public domain.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/su ... -rcna93223

July 8 — Jack Sweeney, the creator of an account tracking Elon Musk’s private jet in real time, has moved to Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter-rival Threads after being suspended from Twitter last year.

“ElonJet has arrived to Threads!” read Sweeney’s first post on Thursday from the account handle @elonmusksjet, which had over 21,000 followers as of Saturday morning.

ElonJet has tracked the movements of Musk’s private jet using data available in the public domain.

In December Twitter Inc, owned by Musk, suspended the ElonJet account, with the billionaire threatening legal action against the account’s operator after saying his son had been mistakenly followed by a “crazy stalker”.

Meta-owned Threads, posing a direct challenge to Twitter, garnered millions of users in hours, including prominent figures such as Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as it seeks to take advantage of its rival’s weakened state after a series of chaotic decisions from Musk.

Sweeney, Twitter and Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
