Does anyone else see any daylight between criticizing someone and tracking their movements?

I think there are two cases we should observe to be able to judge motives here: - What happens to Twitter accounts that are heavily critical of Musk, but do not track him or otherwise lead to real-world harassment/violence? - What happens to a Twitter account that is tracking someone else who isn't Musk?

If Twitter is allowing the former (Musk criticism), and banning the latter (tracking/harassment of non-Musk people), then I think this is fine.

As of right now, @bezosjets and @ZuccJet, operated by the same person as @ElonJet, are both active.

Then I agree that this is inconsistent and bad.

I'm generally far to the free-speech side always, but I don't think publicly tracking people should be allowed. (In a deliberate, ongoing way. I'm sure there's room for "Hey, I just saw Susan Smith at McDonald's" or such)
