    Except flight data has no expectations of privacy.

    Your airplane is legally required to broadcast its location in the USA. For safety reasons. Everyone with a private jet has that private jet constantly broadcasting its location.

        All your public comments have been replicated here thanks to Fediverse.

        I presume you know about this, right? That’s how this place works. Every server in the federation is copying, saving, and holding onto your posts. It’d be insane to be worried about this. Seriously.

            I know what you’re trying to say. But your analogy is pretty crap, so I’m not going to cede you the point.

            Find a better analogy.

                I know what you said because plenty of other people have made that crappy argument to me already. And like many others, they have come up across a brick wall of reality.

                The long story short is: don’t put your faith in Mr. Musk’s arguments. If Mr. Musk new how reality worked, he wouldn’t have been court-ordered to buy Twitter last year. His arguments may be echo’d across the internet, but they’re astonishingly bad.

                There’s literally nothing illegal with the Elon FlightJet tracker. The only thing Musk has is control of Twitter, but the dude can just switch to Facebook, Mastodon and Threads and still keep publishing the flight information cause there’s literally nothing illegal about it.
