- wnkrshm 4y agoWhat's in the plane is private, where the plane is isn't. Twitter (and Musk) has access to pinpoint each of their users with the same precision, I feel it's a poetic balance.
- adbachman 4y agowhose, the airplane's?
- ProAm 4y agoThis is all public information already. There is no invasion of privacy.
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoHe is merging in public data and private surveilliance data from personnel at airports, and then publicizing it. It is stalking.
- andsoitis 4y agoWhy is republishing this information unethical and immoral? (Your words)
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoIt is doxxing as his plane's location is a proxy for his location, similar to his cellphone. Also, it violates Twitter's rules about physical location sharing https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-information https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-info...
- 4512124672456 4y agoThis whole article is about private information. The flight data is, as enough people already told you, not private information. For good reason.
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoSocial Security Numbers used to be treated as quasi public data too.
- BashiBazouk 4y agoNot really. There is no guarantee that Elon is on the plane. He could loan it to a friend or one of his companies VPs. The plane could be at it's home airport, fly to another airport to pick Elon up, fly to a third airport to drop him off then return to the home airport. Elon would have been on only one of the three legs.
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoRetract this statement, now that this crowdsourced data was used to stalk Elon's family. KTHX
- BashiBazouk 4y agoUh..why? There is nothing false about it...
