Twitter has suspended multiple accounts that tracked the movements of private planes—including those belonging to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos—and announced changes to 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.”

Twitter Safety said in a series of posts on Dec. 15 that the social media platform had updated its Private Information policy that bans sharing someone else’s live location “in most cases.”
