There's two distinct issues here; one is the content of the rule (that many people have already posted smart things about), and the other is Twitter's new system of governance via Calvinball, where rules are made up on the fly and are often at odds with the basic culture of the site (for example, the sudden prohibition on sharing location info).

It doesn't help that the rules are capriciously enforced. The situation will probably continue until Musk finds a new squirrel to chase up a different tree and Twitter gets an adult caretaker. Jeff Bezos could do public discourse a real solid here by proclaiming he's just about ready to fly to Mars.



Don't forget that recent rules (like this one, or the one about live tracking people's location) seem to be made to retroactively justify previous moderation actions.
