Earlier quoted context omitted.

this is a myth perpetrated by Elon to justify his banning of twitter account, there is nothing private about tail information, in fact it is required to be publicly available.

Genuine question, IANAL: how is this different from car registration plates, which Google blurs out to avoid this kind of problem for normal people? Ditto all the data protection issues about ANPR systems. (This isn't to defended Musk, quite the contrary given he tweeted a number plate).

Registration plates aren't already tracked and made available publicly wherever they are. Planes are.

It breaks reddit rules probably - against doxxing and publishing private information of individuals. My bet is that it will get banned very soon.

I would have agreed and recently made the same argument on HN re the Twitter bans.

What I’ve since learned however is that tracking his jet requires a combination of public and private information. He’s part of a privacy scheme which routinely changes the plane’s identifier: https://mobile.twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/160385752457453...

At that point, I think the argument that it’s doxxing is justified to some extent.

I don't understand the obsession with infantile "right left" division US politics has and is plaguing the entire world with. There is more nuance to this.

It’s a means of control. Convincing everyone that the bad people are whoever is the other side keeps us divided and is very useful to the people who are actually in control.

Bicameral political Stockholm Syndrome at its finest, they know no better so that's all they have .

( #NotAllAmericans, of course - but it's certainly a sizable and vocal chunk )
