“I have no idea what rules I purportedly broke,“Rupar wrote on Substack.
“I haven’t heard anything from Twitter at all.”
But it’s hard to imagine how either of those things violated Twitter’s policies.”
This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info.”

“The First Amendment protects Musk’s right to do this even if it’s a terrible decision.
Twitter should reinstate these accounts immediately.”
