Hmm. So a rouge Meta employee could put a barometric pressure monitor in Messenger or WhatsApp (that people use even without paid in-flight wifi) to detect depressurization and automatically short the airline and aircraft manufacturer.

They wouldn't have to be rouge, they could be any colour really

[anonu]

Complicated. You could just monitor commercial flights that take off and return to the same spot shortly after

This would probably be violating the employee’s fiduciary duty to Meta.

But Meta the company could short the stock, and run a trading team using the information. It might be unwise because of bad PR, though.

[loeg]

Yes, exactly.

[whycome]

But they could do it under the guise of a distributed barometric weather station system.

….which actually kinda seems doable

[s0rce]

Most phones got rid of the barometers.
