And they banned it again.
It’s not arbitrary. A car with his child in it was attacked. The account was already against the old ToS if you define it as abusive use of public data, the new policy is clearer, and it applies to everyone equally.
I’m not sure what you’re complaining about.

Twitter has changed their policies to not allow posting of same-day location information even if it's from public sources.

That seems to confirm that this was intentional and one of two things happened:
1. Someone jumped the gun and started enforcing the new policy before it was public, entirely coincidentally only enforcing it against this specific user's accounts before realizing their error but doing nothing to undo or even acknowledge it for hours after. 2. Someone in a position of substantial power made an arbitrary move and then changed the policy to justify their actions after the fact.
I know which one of those two I'd bet on.
