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.
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.
There is a difference between keeping tabs on someone & stalking/harassment.
I don’t like the Elon jet tracker stuff, I’m more a fan of privacy.
It’s not stalking though, if he wanted privacy he could fly on a normal commercial plane like everyone else.
This is the way.
The account only republishes publicly available data. The worlds flight data is publicly available (Google search: flight tracker).
So there has never been, is or will be an expectation of privacy.
Elon making a case to the contrary is just wrong. But he has the loudest bullhorn so he gets support from people on his asinine stance.
If he wanted privacy, he should not have aimed to become one of the most public influencers in order to cash in on his fame.

I know what you’re trying to say. But your analogy is pretty crap, so I’m not going to cede you the point.
Find a better analogy.

It’s about as much of an invasion of privacy as posting the weather. It’s publicly available information.

This is literally publicly available information.
