While, yes, the data could have been used to track him down, but reposting it on twitter is not enabling anyone to stalk. Crimimals that would want to hunt down Elon or X, would definitely have specialists who can gather this and other data without some random twitter user
- ssnistfajen 4y agoExactly. What elonjet posts is neither original or private. It is simply relaying information that could've been obtained via other means anyways. Placing blame on Jack Sweeney is a poorly thought-through decision. Sure he may have been emotional after the stalking incident, but the only case he has here is against the perpetrator, not Sweeney.
- asteroidbelt 4y agoIt is more nuanced than that. Professional criminals won’t have trouble locating Musk, but nut job activists may be not that smart and providing them location actually increases risk for Musk.
- pfoof 4y agoWell, the guy on the video looked much more sophisticated than a random nut activist. They would rather go the easy way: stand in front of SpaceX and harass the employees
- ceejayoz 4y agoAny "nut job activists" can go straight to the same source @elonjets used; https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af. This information is absolutely trivial to find and monitor.
- meragrin_ 4y agoOnly if you know about it. How many people actually know about it?
- ceejayoz 4y agoWe're talking about stalkers, right? People who have a vested interest in finding such a thing? How many people knew about @elonjet? You have to seek that out, too.
- Karawebnetwork 4y agoYou can get the information in three search queries. "How can I track someone's plane? "What is Elon's plane registration number?" "Website that tracks plane flights by registration numbers"
- asteroidbelt 4y agoThere's non-zero number of people who are not able to enter these three queries in google, and may have desire to act on that information.
