Doxxing someone else’s real-time location information is a violation of their physical safety and will result in the suspension of their twitter account. This includes publishing links to websites that contain information about the user’s current location in real time.

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.

Posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn’t a safety problem, so is ok.

Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly providing personally identifiable information about an individual or organization, usually via the internet.

On Wednesday, Twitter disabled a well-known account that was monitoring Elon Musk’s private jet.

Account suspended: Twitter suspends accounts that break the Twitter Rules was displayed to visitors of the @ElonJet profile.

Jack Sweeney, a first-year student at the University of Central Florida, was the person behind the popular bot account. Jack Sweeney had previously asserted that the visibility of the account was “limited/restricted to a significant degree internally.”

Using information that was available to the public, the account that had more than a half a million followers was monitoring the whereabouts of Musk’s plane.

The suspension comes one month after Musk emphasized his commitment to “free speech” in a tweet.
