I honestly don't get why people and the media supported the elonjet thing as some sort of fundamental free speech human rights thing. When the same thing happened to Taylor Swift, people were quick to rally to her defense and call out her observers as bad actors. Even a bill was signed into law in May in response that allows for anonimization of registrations, making such tracking essentially impossible. I'm not a Musk fan but it's a weird hill for people who claim are not Musk haters to die on. |

Flight traffic is public info. You can't censor it because it's being broadcast over FCC-regulated channels that anyone can correlate for themselves. Lo and behold, an aggravated college student ends up being the person to make a bot that automates the process. And now Elon is pissing himself like he doesn't know how to... *checks notes* not use a private jet?
Also I don't use Twitter, but Taylor Swift didn't ruin a bunch of people's favorite app, for one.

Some lot of good that does. If you know the airport that Elon departs from and you can correlate his public departures, it would be trivial to re-identify the plane's anonymized callsign. Again, this is all public info and the best you can do is try to hide from people that call out your jet-setting.
