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).

Google chooses to blur it. I don't think they're legally obligated to.

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

>private information It is publicly available information.

What’s public is how each plane moves. What’s not is which one of these planes is Musk’s.

Many aircraft, particularly those flying IFR, are required by law in many jurisdictions to broadcast their location to reduce the risk of collisions and facilitate air traffic control. Check aviation transponder interrogation modes and ADS-B in particular

Wouldn’t a 24 hour delay be enough to satisfy the curious about Elon’s flying habits, without creating a possible security risk? I don’t know how real the risk is, but it is certainly not zero, as he is a controversial public figure.
