I heard Elon Musk doesn't have a formal engineering degree yet literally does engineering at SpaceX, apparently no one told him he doesn't have the expertise required to do the actual engineering he has done. To be fair though I did land a rocket on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program so I guess it's pretty much the same as that.

Weird grey area where most reasonable people (this obviously excludes you Tony incase you didn't realise) probably wouldn't want to give stalkers and weirdos, perhaps even terrorists, an easy way to track the whereabouts of a high profile figure; yet this is also public information so they have the right to publish it.

I imagine if Elon were a woman who was a victim of targeted harassment from male stalkers and weirdos you wouldn't be so keen on someone posting updates of their location publicly, even if they had a right to, but in this instance the (potential) "victim" is a rich white male, so it's ok. You obviously have a blind spot for that type of hypocrisy though so I'll forgive you.

Anyone can find it. I dont know if you know much about stalkers, weirdos and terrorist but they put a lot of effort into the things they do.

So you'd be happy for an account to track high profile female celebrities and post their location? If one of those celebrities were then attacked would you defend the account being kept online?

I'm not saying the account should be shut down by the way, I just don't think you'd hold that same opinion. You'd probably insist it was shut down and probably expect the owners to get a visit from the Police.

Twitter abruptly dissolves safety council moments before meeting

Elon Musk’s Twitter abruptly dissolved its Trust and Safety Council on Monday night, just moments before it was scheduled to meet with company representatives.

The council was an advisory group of nearly 100 independent civil, human rights and other organizations that the company formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform. But Twitter informed the group via email that it was disbanding shortly before the meeting was to take place on Monday, according to multiple members.

The council members, who provided to the Associated Press and other outlets images of the email from Twitter, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fears of retaliation.

“Our work to make Twitter a safe, informative place will be moving faster and more aggressively than ever before and we will continue to welcome your ideas going forward about how to achieve this goal,” said the email, which was signed “Twitter.”

The news appeared to deepen the turmoil that has beset the company following Musk’s takeover. Also on Monday, it was reported that Twitter’s former top safety official, Yoel Roth, was forced to flee his home amid escalating personal attacks, including from Musk himself.

Outlets including the Washington Post and CNN reported on Monday that Roth and his family fled after Musk’s tweets misrepresented Roth’s academic writing about sexual activity and children.

Well he does like to boast how he broke the T&Cs of the forum and tried to track down my Twitter because I said something on the Internet that upset him, so he does have some idea of what sad stalkers do.

Ah yes, my incredible stalking of typing your OcUK forum name into Twitter in another tab and being met with you spamming abuse at people. Why do you even keeping bringing it up? I would honestly have died of embarrassment if someone went through my Tweets and saw what I did.

Show us your twitter account then and we can trawl through and judge for ourselves.
