He's still a person. Don't publicly track the whereabouts of people, it's creepy, intimidating and threatening.

- rootusrootus 5y agoConversely, don't become a public figure if you can't handle the costs. This kind of stuff comes with the territory. I don't advocate stalking public figures, but I have more sympathy for random private individuals being stalked than I do people who willingly choose the spotlight.
- 0F 5y agoPublic figures are human beings too believe it or not
- rootusrootus 5y agoYes, of course. And they made a choice willingly, knowing that there is a price. Can't have the upsides of being famous without the downsides, they are a package deal.
- vageli 5y agoThey are not publicly tracking any person, though, just a plane I thought.
- hermitdev 5y agoWould it be any different if they were tracking his car? Does tracking an object owned by a person somehow make it any better? What's next, Musk's TV viewing habits? Browsing history? These are just things and not the person, so it's ok, right? No, of course not.
- vageli 5y agoThe comment I responded to was about tracking the person. A person's viewing history is different from their automobile being reported in a public place. Steve Jobs disliked it so much that he would regularly lease cars to avoid having a permanent license plate that could be associated with him. [0] TV viewing habits and browsing history are not public activities occuring in plain view of everyone else.
