It's a hastily-written rule designed to ban Things Musk Doesn't Like while allowing things he does. See also the exception:

> In addition, you may not share private media, such as images or videos of private individuals, without their consent. However, we recognise that there are instances where users may share images or videos of private individuals, who are not public figures, as part of a newsworthy event or to further public discourse on issues or events of public interest. In such cases, we may allow the media to remain on the platform.

So vague it's impossible to determine in advance what's allowed and what's not.



Man, I wouldn't want to be in the team of lawyers charged with writing this rule.

"You have 24 hours. You have to write some rules that make my private jet's flights that are public information available on a public website in real time disallowed, while also making Hunter Biden's hacked nudes allowed. Go."


"and also, make sure that hate groups can still post about trans meetups.

again, make it reasonable to protect me and my family but unreasonable to protect 'those' people."


do you like Agile sprints and changing priorities?


So is Hunter Biden’s private media now banned again? Maybe not, as long as “Twitter” decides it is newsworthy (but in such a way that Elon’s media or location is not)? My head is spinning.


That was a rhetorical question?
