Elon Musk promised to promote his free speech principles and introduce features to make Twitter a better platform. But his recent suspension of an account that tracked his private jet caught a lot of attention, and many people started criticizing Musk for not sticking to his words.

The eccentric businessman didn’t care about the criticism, as he instead introduced a new rule on Twitter that prevents any account from doxxing the real-life location of anybody. If someone fails to follow it, they might have to face a suspension from the platform. He did it after a “crazy stalker” followed the car carrying his son, thinking it was the Tesla CEO.
Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood.

Elon Musk explained the new Twitter rule: “Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation. This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info. Posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn’t a safety problem, so is ok.“
The Tesla CEO already announced the introduction of many new rules and regulations for the platform. He turned the blue tick into a subscription-based feature and allowed parody accounts. However, his new rules and features didn’t please every Twitter user. But his latest rule to prevent real-life location doxxing has impressed the Twitch streamer Asmongold.
Asmongold agrees with Elon Musk on the new Twitter rule
Zack “Asmongold” is a popular streamer on Twitch with over 3.4 million followers. He is famous for his gaming or commentary streams. The American streamer has been vocal about current affairs and has been following the whole drama of Musk buying Twitter. He has shared his opinion on Musk’s actions as the Twitter chief on his streams or via tweets.
So, it was impossible for the World of Warcraft streamer to not share his view on Musk, preventing life-location sharing on Twitter. Many might have thought Zack would speak against this action, but surprisingly, he was speaking in favor of the Tesla CEO. He praised Musk for this step and criticized those who stood against Musk on this new rule.
The Twitch streamer tweeted, “Crazy to me to see so many people legitimately defend doxxing and stalking. Who gives a f*ck if it’s legal or not? It shouldn’t be legal, and even if it is, it shouldn’t be getting posted on Twitter in real-time Obvious safety threat, W decision.”
