Elon Musk has clarified Twitter’s recently revised doxxing policy after running a poll that asked users to weigh in on when to reinstate the suspended accounts of journalists who allegedly violated the policy by sharing Musk’s real-time location and “endangering” his family.

Twitter on Thursday announced changes to its Private Information policy—commonly referred to as its doxxing policy—prohibiting sharing of real-time location information or linking to external sources that share such data, citing a “risk of physical harm.”
