The company says it will remove any tweets or accounts that share someone’s live location going forward, pointing to “increased risk of physical harm” when such information is shared.
The new policy also says that any content that shares the “location information related to a public engagement or event” will not be impacted by the changes. First time offenders will be temporarily locked out of their account and another offense will cause a user’s account to be permanently suspended, the platform says. Any accounts dedicated to sharing a person’s live location will be permanently suspended.
