      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.

              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.

                    I’m sorry you had to hear this argument elsewhere from like-minded people, but I am literally the only person making it in this thread, so maybe recognize that there is literally no way I could know what arguments you have heard and that obviously it’s not my intention to upset you.

                    This is well past the point of productivity. Have a good one.
