Jack Sweeney, who gained notoriety for his @ElonJet account on X and maintained many of the suspended accounts, said on Threads that the development is “reminiscent of all my accounts getting suspended on Twitter.” The shuttered accounts, which used publicly available data to show the flight paths of private jets, initially displayed a message on Monday that read, “The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.”
Meta provided no direct warning or explanation for the suspensions, according to Sweeney, who says the accounts appear “blacked out with no options to interact or receive information.” In a statement to TechCrunch, however, an unnamed Meta spokesperson said “Given the risk of physical harm to individuals, and in keeping with the independent Oversight Board’s recommendation, we’ve disabled these accounts for violating our privacy policy.”

Zuckerberg’s $300 million mega yacht may be tracked here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9857511
It is currently in San Diego at Broadway Pier. Which was also confirmed by yesterday’s news of a methed up Florida man being arrested at gun point for sneaking aboard and throwing things off into the water LOL https://youtu.be/L7nnKn1W4Mw
“methed up Florida man" Redundant, we all know Florida Man is always methed up
I wish he did more damage. Fuck these billionaires and their 300 million dollar yachts. Most Americans are struggling to buy groceries.
This all feels very Streisand Effect. I don’t care about these accounts, but the more attempts there are to suppress them… the more they feel important.
What are we looking at here?
you know where this wouldn’t happen?
Mastodon.
Except it can would and does. Lots of instances with overzealous owners/moderators that defederate or remove anything they don’t like
Is it possible to migrate one’s account to a new Mastodon server, while keeping the followers one had in the old server?
They can ban that but can’t do anything about misinformation, scammers, bots and shit
They don’t care to do anything about those
That’s how you recognize bullshit. If there was a kernel of truth worth protecting the offending posts would be removed.
Mango Mussolini’s flights are paid for by the tax payers through the USAF and those flights should be tracked.
Mango Mussolini
That’s fucking brilliant
And yet: https://mastodon.social/@elonjet is still up :)
Obligatory: https://grndcntrl.net/
Yet, Meta cannot do anything about hate speech…
Just make a damn website already
It’s public information transmitted over airwaves and several sites exist already. Flightradar24 and adsbexchange are the two I use, though Elon and Taylor Swift are far too boring to pay attention to when you can watch refuelers and jets instead.
Already has one.
Zuck creating a safe-space for billionaire private jet owners on Meta isn’t something I ever thought I would read, but here we are.
You didn’t…?
Why not?
But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…
The harm to people flying in private jets is much more important than spam links. According to their own “Oversight Board”.
Corporate censorship. These companies are too powerful and tyrannical.
It blows my mind that people still use Facebook. What more can Zuckerberg do before people decide to ditch his shit?
Deleted mine a long time ago and life got so much better. I still have friends that use it religiously and are on it every day like their life depends on it… Crazy.
You’re a bootlicker if you’re on threads, simple as
Oligarchs be oligarching
Fuck Mark Zuckerberg.
Fuck Elon Musk.
Fuck Jack Dorsey.
Fuck Daniel Ek.
Fuck all these fucks.
