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.

My understanding is that he _stopped_ using this service and now his plane broadcasts the same tail number all the time.

If that’s true then it’s not doxxing at all and fair game.

Ultimately planes are tracked and the information made public. If you’re concerned about privacy, travel by different means.

Where is your understanding coming from?

Elon Musk himself confirmed 2 days ago that he is using that privacy scheme: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603803508087537665

I got it from here.

It looks like he might be enrolled but not actively using it, or using it wrong according to the above tweet.
