Twitter has suspended the accounts of several journalists who had been critical of — or had otherwise reported on — Elon Musk.
In a tweet late Thursday, Musk, the owner since late October of the social network, explained that the suspensions came about because the journalists had “doxxed him” by giving his “exact location in real-time.” “I think this falls pretty far underneath the threshold of what’s considered doxxing,” Budington said. “For instance, it’s information that’s publicly available. It’s publicized by the FAA, and all flight records are available on the web already. It’s not gathering information from various sources. It’s not for harassment.”
Musk had said in November that his “commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk.” But, on Wednesday night, he alleged that “a car carrying his child” was “followed by a crazy stalker” and posted a video that showed a masked driver and license plate, asking users, “Anybody recognize this person or car?”
Need laws to stop these cowards!
My interpretation is that he feels he has something to hide and is willing to use Twitter to enforce his need to hide. Probably not reasonable or necessary.
Doxing is what the Jan 6th committee did to the people under Thompson's control. He released their social security numbers and addresses to dirt bags as planned. He is criminally negligent and should be held accountable.
elonmusk needs to go away. He puts himself in these positions & then crybabys. He projects the greatest sense of immaturity that I have ever seen in the male species. Seriously, he is so self engrossed that he is pathetically daft.
Elmo Promoting this no doubt
How about the Jan 6 committee “accidentally “ releasing the social security numbers of everyone they investigated? I would call that doxxing.
It may not be doxing, but it was attempted blackmail.
Musk is a liar
Proof that wealth doesn’t make you smart.
Doxing is sharing someone’s personal information (address, phone number, place of work, children’s school) with the aim of causing harassment or physical violence. It should be a felony.
Well, let’s just uncritically amplify everything he says, then!
He’s whining. He also doesn’t want to face a California jury. What a w_imp.
It sounds a lot like a game for two dicks to me.
... it is clear doxing ... ... they engaged in releasing location information for purposes of targeted harassment...
Good question
ElonIsDestroyingTwitter ElonMuskIsAFascist
I was suspended for several hours for calling a trophy hunter a B.I.T.C.H.
I guess he thinks he’s come up with a new word?
Doxing should have a prison sentence especially if someone gets hurt
Story is almost a month old. Find something new to assault Musk with.
❄️
Doxxing is to disclose somebody’s address without their consent!
This is really old old news. REALLY?
He clearly was not, just had his arrogance offended.
What does it matter why. Elon can suspend anyone he would like. Twitter is his!
Muskrat is paranoid.
Well well well
Wasn’t he LIVING IN A TESLA CONTAINER TYPE dwelling on corporate Tesla Property, a $50,000 CASITA - sustainable/MINIMALIST option he plans to mass market to the public? Meanwhile, his residential etc. details are easy 2 get from all the ripples from his many marriages & affairs
If you're going to advertise on Twitter, you might want to be more timely in your article choices. I'm thinking an article 'Published: Dec. 16, 2022 at 3:31 p.m. ET', on an ad-tweet promoted on 1/7/23 is not exactly timely. Just sayin'
Space Karen complaining again....
Loose lips sink ships!
He was.
Doxxing a sport that requires hysterics and the moral ethics of a snake
It’s what our govt just did to trump and his allies by posting their social security numbers in their asinine J6 “report” and putting it on the internet.
Sure everyone at market watch would insist their personal information remain confidential. Am I mistaken? This protecting personal privacy must be either respected or made law with major consequences as well as a civil case in court. Would u disagree? elonmusk larryelder
“Journalist”
What did they get on him?
News flash…he wasn’t.
elonmusk hasn’t been doxxed. His info is all over the internet bc of Tesla & the fool he’s made of himself. He made news when he named his kid a bunch of numbers. When he chose this life, he chose to have his life put out there. He may want to learn the proper words to use.
Doxxing is putting someone’s life in danger out of hatred.
I believe Elon .
I love how the corporate run media, rather than condemn stalking, harrasment, violence, etc., tries to create what is essentially a straw man argument, and argue the semantics of the definition of doxxing. So transparent, & lacking in integrity.
elonmusk the snowflake.❄️🌨️❄️
Ya know? Some people just have to learn the hard way…..
Wanting to keep his cake after he ate it.
wasn't he VOTED OUT?
That can be rude
Everyone should “dox” Musky. I do.
You know what it is. Why are trying to make it ok when it happens to someone you don’t agree with? You should delete this crap
😮😮
This has nothing to do with the market. Keep in your line.
Yes he was
Good for Elon
Sounds like a bigger ban. Do The Crime Do the time! Fuk with the boss suffer a big lost!!!
Need a stomp your feet emoji for all the EDS sufferers lol
Yet you are still choosing to give him your advertising dollars with this sponsored post 🙄
There’s a conflated storyline here — the elevated form of doxxing that he refers to is more than releasing supposedly non-public information (the e.g. you cite is wrong since there are hundreds of sources that do that now); it is the real-time location that raises threat levels.
No idea!
It’s a private company and the owners can do whatever they want to do. Isn’t that what AH’s at FB and other “privately” owned companies say?
How long is this study in The Fine Art of Character Assassination going to continue? You actually have this 2 week old piece of bilge writing being promoted on his own platform. How unethical are you people?
Doxxing has been going on with ANTIFA for a few years and you don’t know what it is?
Look it up!
Elon is correct and the lefties running the platform before he took over made that rule. So it’s good to see that now both sides are treated equally.
What is doxxed?
What is doxxed?
He looks like a freakin’ hobbit
What’s up dox?
Has to be Trump
Don’t be daft.
Journalists should not put anyone at risk by publishing their homes, phone numbers or personal travels. It’s dangerous and they should be sanctioned if they do it.
If I had a private plane and found out someone was following its (hence my) every move, that would make me nervous. Don’t do unto others what you would not have done unto you! Should be a corollary of the golden rule, regardless of the definition!
Pinpoint a real time position on a map as a person being present
“says top technologist at nonprofit digital-rights group” Sorry, no. Neither STEM expertise nor NGO credentials make one’s opinions salient on moral issues such as privacy
It’s a private company he can censor what he wants.
Why are you telling me about something from 2 weeks ago, did the printing press get stuck or something?
Doxed is looking up someone’s address and phone number and putting it out all over the internet Twitter etc . Then crazy people show up and harass and some try to kill them like justice kavinnua sorry for miss spell (try to kill them for having same or even different views!
Musk makes up convenient shit.
Publish your address and I’ll show you about DOXXING!
Delete your account
Marketwatch is part of the swamp.
Elon is a proven liar. You're not helping.
This dude even investigate what the hell was going on or is it just that he has a hard-on for Elon Musk. The kid HACKED to get the information. So it wasn't public information.. and y'all wonder why people hate co called 'journalist'.
Enquirer 2.0 ..moving to another platform..
Why do people keep referring to them as journalists? They are not journalists. They’re trolls with no journalistic integrity nor formal understanding of ethical journalism whatsoever.
You know what it is....libs and journalists regularly use it as a weapon to intimidate and cause harm.
He was not doxxed and elonmusk is a giant narcissistic man baby who takes credit for other people’s work.
A dim on a mission wrote this article. Elon was doxed no matter their excuses.
Well, don't ask Elon.
Dozxing is when you give someone’s address, location or phone number out to the general public
So, ummm if the information is PUBLIC. Say, for an aircraft, it is not doxxing. Doxxing can only happen to a private residence, location etc.
He let them back on after a few days. Whoopdeedoo
I think our rights to privacy are so invaded now days.. Tell me who needs to know where a person or their vehicle,plane etc. Is at? Next they will know we are in the bathroom taking a 💩
MarketWatch claims to be a serious organization but it’s actions say otherwise. See how the lie works you pricks?
Yawn - old news 🥱
Give me a break. He’s a billionaire baby. Everyone knows where he is. He can afford to be dozed.
stick to promoting crypto. you could also predict the markets will go up unless they go down. Or the other way around.
I googled it.
Awwww sniff.
Who cares, he’s a public figure
Poor poor pitiful Musk
You lost me at the “expert” from the non-profit.
Good
👮♀️👮♀️👮♀️
Another liar that has lied his whole life and thinks he’s still gonna get away with it “Why his life gonna suck”
Gold monster squeeze 99000000
Gold 9800000000
Gold infinity monster monster squeeze 980000000
Gold 9900””0”
DOX THE SHIT OUT IF HIM!
Yeah! I’m not savvy enough to know about doxing! I can’t imagine it’s anything good! Keep on going Mr Musk!
Perhaps if the journalist were actually interested in Elon and not harassing him they would have known they would get their account suspended since Elon had already said anyone tweeting his real time location would be suspended play stupid games win stupid prizes
He owns twitter. He can define doxxing any way he wants.
Dear WSJ. Give me your home addresses, cell & home phone numbers of all your staff and I’ll show you what doxxing is.
The first amendment and then there’s the fourth.. both need to be interpreted in a 21st c way .. speech and privacy. Both rights..
“Claiming” really do better.
And who cares?
stop
Revealing someone's personal information.
Google it! Duh
Give away all your money become homeless. You won't have to worry about being doxxed ever again. Lol
It may be public information that was just “accumulated” for the general public, but I do not think its right to do at all. It does ethically, if not legally, encroach on ones right to privacy and safety. It is, itself, a form of harassment.
I’m blocking your ads because you support Elon Musk’s cesspool of misinformation, hate speech, and Qanon nutcases. You’re wasting your money here and tarnishing your reputation. elonmusk
Im sorry if it doesnt pertain to some fact of importance for anyone to know, it is probably for the purpose of harrassment. And indeed he was harrassed. Shame on them!
Well, I’m blocking your ads because you support Elon Musk’s cesspool of misinformation, hate speech, and Qanon nutcases. You’re wasting your money here and tarnishing your reputation. elonmusk
He's a public fuckin person.
I’m dozing Elon Musk- if you want to find him on weekdays he will often be in his Tesla factory working. If you want to find me on weekdays I be on the beach in Florida burning. In summer I be in North Idaho hiking. Hope Elon isn’t mad at me for doxing him
The platform is not for bullying or intimidation. If you have conversation welcome if you want to use the platform for Harassing you should be blocked.
Musk claims is about the same as trump claims
Elon is not logical.
Doing, assaulting innocent people, destroying properties or blocking highways. It all goes on because these officials don't enforce the lawson the books
Um so Musk lied. He was not Doxxed.
So these journalists can open multiple fictitious reserved accounts for future use whenever one is suspended?
stop them all elon they are as evil as biden
How about stalking? Following ? Creeping around a kid? Semantics.
What a crybaby Musk is
Anything that can bring harm to a person, or their family is SERIOUS! Elon's son was attacked by an idiot acting on that information. Quit minimizing this. How would you feel if your children were attacked by someone giving their location.
You misspelled propagandists 🥴
Nobody cares
So MarketWatch is doing a political hit story on Musk? Democrat much?
Pre Elon all you communists, liberals and democrats said Twitter is a private company now all you do is cry when the tables are turned
Just another professional victim.
So you have no means to look that up? Your totally woke
elonmusk is a lying, whiny cry baby attention whore
So about Musk’s credibility… or lack thereof
Google….You are not inspiring faith..
Always playing the victim
Do you think Musk would hire someone to follow his kid's limo to ramp up his case for 'Doxing'?
Trolls, especially Right Wing, do it to those that they don’t trust frequently. And they claim it is done to them and people that they revere unfairly.
Perhaps one should consider this possibility of loss of privacy when buying a world wide communication company then screwing it up….
This was like a week ago.
“It’s not for harassment.” Ok, sure.
Is that vaxing but illegally? 🤣
Doxxing is a new word that has a fluid meaning. Y’all seem to like the word fluid these days. Just don’t get any on yuh.
Isn’t it similar to what happened to the journalists ByteDance who recently got fired for using TikTok?
elonmusk looks like a middle-aged woman
Search for a publish private or identity information about a particular individual. Typically with malicious intent
Aren’t you a financial magazine?
If you can’t keep up, perhaps you should consider not joining in.
Absolutely doxxing, don’t fall for the non-public part of the opening line of the story. Especially given there were real time threats to Musk and family. Cowards on the left, including CBS MW are hiding behind that gambit. And for what, a day off of Twitter? CBS is one sided.
Real time whereabouts and personal addresses of high value people. SCOTUS for example. elonmusk as he tries to save free speech. Am I missing something?
Whatever Musk says it is!
You seriously do not know, and cannot look it up I post private info, location etc..on you, or your family….Good grief…🤔
Why are you even complaining? You’ve been saying for years Twitter is a private company and can do what they want right? Now that it affects you guys, you are on attack mode? Sorry Charlie that’s not how the game is played🤷🏽♀️
Narrator: He was not doxxed.
Read the article seems pretty cut and dried like your article said until it gets to that gray area. Why is there a gray area because some of you people don’t agree with watch pretty cut and dried!
Notice that liberals are moaning and groaning? They break the Twitter laws. Where were they when conservatives were censored/targeted for their perfectly legitimate viewpoint & labeled misinformation! This involved a little boy, Musk’s SON! Such hyprocracy.
If you don’t know what it is,,, that’s your problem
Buzz word
Someone jumped on the hood of a car carrying Musk’s son thinking Musk was in that car! Doxxing is against Twitter Rules. These journalist were suspended for 1 week. The journalist knew what they were doing was wrong. And now some of you are crying foul? Where were you before?
Elon can’t be doxxed. He’s constantly mouthing off about his own personal information!
Quote:“I think this falls pretty far underneath the threshold of what’s considered doxxing,”Budington said. “For instance, it’s information that’s publicly available. It’s publicized by the FAA, and all flight records are available on the web already. It’s not for harassment.”
Hey if you don’t believe that tracking and publishing where and when someone is going to be is doxxing, then there is something wrong with you! It’s just as sure as posting your address without permission.
Rewrite definitions to suit your premises. Typical of liberals because they hardly ever follow the long established rules and adhere to respected norms within society.
If indeed he was, then fair enough— both sides playing hardball.
Doxxed is when your location is given out at present time. Dangerous
Google it
For all these journalists that are fine with doxxing, what would they say if people showed up at their door, restaurant, employer, spouses employer, children’s school. Doxxing is dangerous and should be labeled domestic terrorism.
Market Watch is just another liberal Marxist rag.
“Claims”? elonmusk has he receipts.
I'd like to know who doxxed the Supreme Court Justices.
I believe that the correct term is criticize, he was hoping to get that so that he could be a victim in the eyes of the right.
I must think we’re all stupid to believe his excuse!
Anything he wants it to be! Good to be BOSS!
Nope. Paranoid boy was not Doxxed.
search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent. 'hackers and online vigilantes routinely dox both public and private figures'
Why is Musk so concerned with tweeters operating out of the BarcaLounger in their mom’s basement? I were him I’d be more concerned about the “bonesaw” Saudis he just screwed out of $billions in his Twitter mismanagement meltdown.
It appears that the location of at least one of Elon’s children was advertised publicly and a masked man followed them. I think any decent parent would react similarly. Conservatives view liberals as crazy violent. JS, if the shoe fits.
🤮
elonmusk is a fucking moron Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook,
The reporter is either disingenuous or naive.
Anything is possible when you lie.
Market watch is one of the more bias news sources I’ve seen
I’m not if “doxing” is good or bad.
This headline should be followed by, “but evidence has shown that he wasn’t doxxed!”
Thousands of people a day coming into this country illegally is also a matter of public interest. Why aren’t those same banned journalists covering it?
In Theaters: ‘Elonvatar’-On finding a virtual world rich with useful real-time information, Elon releases his inner demons insecurity & inadequacy to destroy it. When terrorists launch a multi-city attack, only the virtual world can help people, but Elon has banned finding people
“Claims”?
He was not
Now ask, “What is censorship?”
elonmusk is being stalked and cyber stalked. We don’t need a new word or crime for what is already illegal.
Sorry but this ad will be blocked by myself and many others due to Mr. Musk recent activities of trolling, passing sick conspiracy theories, lying and pushing his politics on Twitter. More and more will continue doing this. Your name is attached to his actions.
So reckless. Why does anyone need to publicly promote real-time location of any non governmental representative? For one purpose- to threaten and harass. Bill Budington knows better, so do media figures.
Someone trying to out the current location of another to incite violence. In Elon’s case it was against him and his family.
They were spying on his jet and giving out its location. They’re all a piece of crap 💩
Totally disagree with the article in that the only reason Musk’s and Bezos’ location were sent out by the individuals was the internet to harass may not be by them directly but that was the intent none the less.
CommunityNotes
He wasn’t doxxed. Or doesn’t know the definition. ❄️ Karen. He’s losing his marbles. And the supposed kid incident was not close to the airport and a day after the plane landed! Absurd. Plus, he didn’t report it to cops? 🤔 If it was so threatening, why not inform the police?
Everyone of them linked to the person with the private information and told people where to find the information. To most people, its still doxxing someone and it put his son’s life at risk. I can’t believe you are defending these actions.
I’ve noticed that a lot of tweets seem to just retype the headline of some article as if the person viewing it needs the first sentence repeated. Can’t you think of a catchy phrase that will grab the reader’s interest?
He’s amazing. And not on a good way.
Yes, the journalists leaked that musk resides in the continental US. Pretty provocative.
I have to ask the question: Why is a publication named “Market Watch” which implies stock market reporting, so interested in the mechanics and defense of Doxing? Are you just another liberal propaganda sheet masquerading as financial news?
There are better ways to beat boredom..than elongated doxxing
No Committees, No Arbitration... Just Arbitrary.
Who cares conservatives do it all of the time
So I can post where a left leaning journalist is in public at all times? You know just in case someone wants to know?
He lied.
He was doxxed no matter how you try to spin it. Doxxing by “journos” with huge followings encourage stalking behavior and aggression- it needs to stop.
Doxing is digital paparazzi. Get over it Elon or get your whiny ass out of the public space. Maybe Mars is where you need to go.
Might want to pass the definition on to elonmusk. He appears to not know the definition and just take the interpretative dance approach to it.
He wasn't doxxed.
Love it how now you guys are all about freedom of speech and talking about dozing. Where have you been for the past six years?
Elon is a whiny man-baby.
Elon is a liar. No one doxxed him. should do some journalism and lead their story with this fact. What happened? The airport where he parks his private plane, info that is readily available all over the internet and via public sources, was included in tweets.
We didn’t know where Biden was 95% of the 2020 election-in a basement? Dallasites had no idea where democrat election workers drove off to for 4 hours with the 2020 USB voting thumb drives before arriving at Count HQ. But we are entitled to live feed of elonmusk? Pffft.
Doxxing? Try stalking. It’s illegal. elonmusk needs to protect his family.
He literally doxes himself. 🤔
Stalking is a crime stalking a child like the kook at the airport who jumped on the car hood with the 2yo inside is a felony. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
the article it said it was a grey area. There’s lots of bad actors on Social Media looking to do harm especially to someone like musk for whom the media has all but asked for his head be served on a platter. Better to ere on the side of caution on this one, they deserved banned
Read the TOS. Then you’ll know. There’s no public benefit to broadcasting that info in real time. It’s a sinister act.
You’re paying Elon to boost the people who see this
He is correct!
the gibberish in these comments is something else. Disorganized thinking is a real thing. Indicative of terrible things
Don’t blame him
Media giving someone’s location
Budington said that motivation for doxxing was “usually harassing.” but then he claims there is a “legitimate public interest,” in knowing coordinates of Musk. sorry NOP pass sniff test. shall we also subject real-time doxing of Fauci-who supported force💉 penetrate xx bodies
Musk, Twitter's despot.
then it should be fine to know exactly which car, jet, etc. the president travels to facilitate the work of a terrorist group... LOL... 🤣🤣
He was doxxed on his own platform by liberal journalists who were out to get him. A stalker even confronted his son. He suspended their accounts for 7 days ; previously when twitter suspended conservative accounts indefinitely; the Media didn’t care. This is just obvious bias.
