Privacy For Me, Not You
Elon Musk has been flailing at Twitter and putting the social medium in danger of complete collapse. Now Musk is after a fellow who tweets the location of his jet. Musk's' rationale is that it is a danger to him for the world to know where he is. In other words, respect my privacy. This is a curious move because Musk has removed most of the controls on Twitter speech with the explanation that he is making it free. And, the plane watcher is using public flight tracking data. Musk is invoking a privilege of privacy for me because I'm wealthy and the owner of Twitter but not for you, the common folk. Had Musk kept controls on speech on the platform, it would not look so hypocritical, but he didn't and it does.
