    GDPR has nothing to do with citizenship, why would you even bring that up? Really, it even has nothing to do with residency. It's all to do with jurisdiction, when Elon happens to …

    Yes, but in the EU this would be illegal. https://www.privacy-ticker.com/decision-to-fine-the-norwegia...

    Who gives a shit about Elon? What the ADS-B data brokers are doing will continue to be illegal even if Elon never steps on a flight again.

    Buddy, not everybody shares your weird Elon obsession. There are interesting phenomena to discuss here, but Elon's mood swings aren't one of them.

    GDPR has nothing to do with whether or not you live in Europe. The plane we're discussing here does frequently visit Europe.
