Elon Musk’s past 24 hours at the helm of Twitter have been absurd. As part of a sudden war on open source information gathering that pertains to him, personally, Musk has banned the account of ADS-B Exchange, a site that uses open source data to track flight patterns.

The site will survive without its Twitter account, but the policy changes at Twitter and the banning of aviation tracking accounts is part of a pattern that’s dealing a blow to the open source intelligence community, a group of professionals and enthusiasts who document war crimes, investigate criminal cases, and share information in real time on Twitter.
