So we're saying that the reason jets should be able to be tracked by anyone, in real time, is so we can enable targeted moral shaming? Everyone, regardless of wealth or mode of transportation should have the right to not be publicly real-time tracked. Let's find more constructive ways to solve our larger scale societal problems than to fall back on mob rule.

I think the outrage stems from wealthy people having their issue fixed by congress in a timely fashion, when regular people feel like they cannot catch a break.

Housing, Inflation, Healthcare, are all a mess but this problem gets fixed right away.

I think that's the point. There are data brokers selling information right now on everyone's whereabouts, travel patterns, shopping behavior, and many other data points. This happens essentially any time you interact with electronics that can send and receive data.

Going about data privacy legislation in this way is ridiculous. It's like if you had a clogged toilet in your house, you just continued to let it flood because you can build a ramp over the water to get to your private jet and take a dump in that toilet instead.
