Private platforms aren’t obligated to host your privacy invading photos of people’s houses, if they feel those would be doxxing.

As Twitter’s policy has been, when they banned people for posting videos with visible house numbers because they doxxed the people in them.

Elon Musk @elonmusk "I simply mean that which matches the law.

I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people."

It seems most people aren't arguing Musk doesn't have the right to ban this, they're just pointing out that literally a couple of weeks ago Musk said this exact account was an example of free speech he would protect.

If Musk hadn't been making a big deal about supporting free speech for the last several months there wouldn't be a problem with him banning all these accounts. It's his platform he can do what he wants. dang can ban me at any time here, it's kind of his party in many ways. But dang isn't running around claiming to support all forms of legal speech, he's made a point he's trying to enforce his and the team's ideas of community guidelines.

He also has no problems violating his on rules and is asking his followers to doxx someone. Appropriate solution is file a police report which he didn't do.
