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.
All your public comments have been replicated here thanks to Fediverse.
I presume you know about this, right? That's how this place works. Every server in the federation is copying, saving, and holding onto your posts. It'd be insane to be worried about this. Seriously.
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.

I don’t like it either, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the irony of people who make billions violating our privacy complaining about their privacy being violated with their own tools.
do you think billionaires/ruling care about YOUR privacy? cause they don't. These people enact rules and regulations on us like cattle and then live differently as the world burns. A jet tracker is by far the least we can do to keep tabs on these people who would kill us for pennies (and have) and as mentioned it's all public info anyway, like it matters though.
You can track most flights on flightradar24. It's public information. When I see an interesting plane fly past I look it up on Flight Radar. It's usually on there unless it's a small crop dusting plane.
Even if you are a private citizen, it doesn't matter. Informations on everyone's private jets are public information, no matter how "public" of a citizen the owner of the jet is.
