I suspect it's the second part -- and the very powerful, rich people who fly their private jets to global climate conferences -- who had more to do with this legislation than the blond cover-girl with which it's being associated.
Wake me up when the FCC is required to anonymize personally identifying information in the amateur radio registration database as well... I never give out my callsign because it would be too easy for people to figure out where I live. But then I'm just a private, normal, tax payer and not a celebrity or billionaire who is already a public figure.

You’re forgetting all the billionaires that were flying places like Epstein Island.
Bill Gates had something like 23 or more visits there.

Right. Or the celebrities who are photographed landing with a date which isn't their spouse? There have been some high-profile divorces that started from evidence like that. The larger point is that this is for the benefit of "The League of the Very Special" and not out of an actual interest in privacy of PII.

Flight plans still have to be filed, right? And are any of those details public, as in would a flight tracker show the destination of a plane in flight?
If so, time for some traditional intelligence work: someone at the airport with a telephoto lens to document just who disembarked from the plane.

#8> Of course, it’s worth pointing out that, unlike someone like Musk, Swift actually had a pretty good reason to travel a lot last year: she was on tour.
Yes, because the richest man on the planet, heading up multiple billion dollar companies, couldn’t possibly have any legit reason to travel anywhere.

This looks like an idea for a Show HN: an article summary bot which posts a three to five bullet point summary of articles submitted to HN...

Maybe in ten years... for now they are mostly under 18.
