Just an observation, but it seems that the Twitter files revelations are getting drastically less press than everything else Elon does. It almost feels like kill the messenger

I have read the “revelations” and… they weren’t that interesting to be honest. Pretty much what I expected.

I would report all the other accounts as they can present a security threat. This should be private information in the first place.

The FAA requires that most planes transmit ADSB-out. ADSBexchange aggregrates those transmitted signals and displays them online.

I think Elon is/was trying to bring back the "glory days" of the internet where free speech was the driving force behind tons of early internet projects. Seemingly everyone was onboard with the internet being humanities bastion of free speech and that had to be protected at all costs.

Then the wild west internet was developed into a city and well, you just can't walk around shooting your gun wherever you want anymore. And changing the law to let people do that isn't going to bring back the wild west, and is more likely to just cause a bunch of chaos.

I support free speech and consider myself a libertarian, having much in common with the populist-libertarian-right, and the civil-liberties-left.

But tracking a flight like this on a regular basis to this intrusive a level strikes me as downright creepy and personally invasive.

Are you going to track the locations of his vehicles and where they park next?

An alternative argument - if we're going to do it to him, maybe we should do the same to everyone (which is crazy because no one cares that much about random plane movements from rich guys unless they are politically connected, or green hypocrites, or involved in some crime, but Law Enforcement protects this data etc)

It's already public. It's just ported over to Twitter.

it should not be linked to VIPs and tracked like this, it's almost as creepy as stalking what this guy did. reported all his accounts.

I'm probably not going to convince you but I just read through the most recent ones and they are not that surprising. To me I would summarize the story as "there was debate inside the company about whether or not to ban Trump", which is a an unsurprising non-headline. In the files there are interesting arguments on both sides but ultimately there is (to me, and I'm guessing maybe not to you?) a clear argument as to why he ultimately got banned after some internal back and forth. He incited violence with his tweets.
