Elon Musk's decision to crack down on the sharing of private flight information on Twitter raises questions about what counts as doxxing.
Musk caused a buzz on Thursday when Twitter banned five tech journalists for posting links to a flight tracker, claiming they had"doxxed [his] exact location in real time."This led to an uproar from the press on Twitter, which slammed Musk for his decisions to remove accounts of journalists who had covered and been critical of him. Musk maintains that the accounts in question breached Twitter's new policies against sharing real-time data about people's locations.
Doxxing is defined as revealing identifying information about an individual online, such as their real name, address, workplace, finances, or other personal information, according to the security firm Kaspersky. The discussion of doxxing arose after Musk banned @elonjet, an account that tracked his jet. Twitter had removed @elonjet and several other jet-tracking bots from Twitter after updating its rules to provide for the suspension of accounts"dedicated to sharing someone's live location."
