Yeah no shit. YouTube bans videos promoting other video platforms. Also, what a massive double standard... they're crying now that the company is not in their favor but those same people were probably justifying the censorship before.

If you're as well known and as smart as Elon then you know that there are thousands of people out there gunning for you just because they are nuts. If he wants to protect information about where he is at any given moment, more power to him.

The Elon Jet Tracker (now at https://mastodon.social/@elonjet ) only shows publicly available flight data, plus Musk is also banning journalists who report on the story. Not a very good precedent for a free speech platform.

I see your point but when your family is involved and it's really nobody's business to know exactly where he is all the time.

Social media hasn't been free speech ever. Why do leftists care? They never cared for free speech before. Why now?

Leftists aren't the only ones calling out censorship under Musk's Twitter.

Sure, the alt right is banned too
