It was actually because of "doxxing" the ElonJet. He should've just deleted their tweets and issued warnings at best

On the other hand Twitter is a private company and they have the right to disassociate from whom they want. Those who were banned can now start their own social media

He's saying that talking shit about him is fine. The problem is doxxing him so this implies that he's banning these people because he thinks they're doxxing him some way some how.

They're reporting on the ElonJet banning story. Some are also reporting that there was no police report about his son being harassed.

There's nobody being doxed in these articles.

Eh not really. Censoring for the good of the platform and its userbase is pretty typical. Censoring to protect the ego of the CEO is overall pretty unusual. On top of that there's no consistent rule or vision in place either. Elon Musk adds a new rule every week or so as an excuse to ban people who bother him.

twitter wasn't exactly a beacon for consistent rules before he took over either

it's basically gone from arbitrary rule by committee to arbitrary rule by dictator

They don't understand that their incoherent worldview has been made fun of and it's a completely fair cop, their only recourse is to hope and pray for the day when someone censors people they don't like (which is every day anyway, but they're so weak in spirit that it feels like eternity) because they imagine that the tables have turned.

On top of that, the "Twitter files" have actually included private emails of people in congress and sensitive personal information. But who cares about that?

What were some of the arbitrary rules by committee before Musk? And you feel the level of arbitrariness was equal to now?
