Do I understand this correctly https://nbaa.org/aircraft-operations/security/privacy/privacy-icao-address-pia/ https://nbaa.org/aircraft-operations/security/privacy/privac...
So PIA in a nutshell means that you can request a private identifier for your plane, that is not publicly linkable to you.
And if the identifier is compromised, you can request a new one.
Which would make the identifier itself, and its real-time location, public information, but the knowledge of who owns the identifier would remain as private information.
- richbell 4y ago> Which would make the identifier itself, and its real-time location, public information, but the knowledge of who owns the identifier would remain as private information. Yes and no. Tracking airplanes is something hobbyists have been doing for decades; there are people who hang out by airports and record every flight in and out. The PIA program can be useful for realtime masking but the information is far from secret — nor should it be, imo. > "Elon Musk, for example, has a Gulfstream and there's only so many people that fly that particular plane out of Brownsville, Texas and fly to the same airports," Sweeney told Insider. > ... > "These privacy mitigation programs are effective for real-time operations but do not guarantee absolute privacy," an FAA spokesperson said. "A flight can still be tracked in other ways such as a Freedom of Information Act request, www.LiveATC.com, ADSB Exchange, or a frequently departed airport." https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-appears-use-faa-tool-block-jet-tracking-twitter-2022-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-appears-use-faa-to...
- woojoo666 4y agoWould this count as stalking though? I pulled up a definition on Google and > According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the legal definition of "stalking" means "engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress." http://www.oxfordlegal.com/legal-definition-stalking/ http://www.oxfordlegal.com/legal-definition-stalking/ Using an antenna to figure out somebody's approximate location and publicizing it, when that somebody already has stalkers going after his children [1], seems like it would cause reasonable fear [1]: https://nypost.com/2022/12/15/elon-musk-shares-video-of-crazy-stalker-who-climbed-vehicle-carrying-moguls-son/ https://nypost.com/2022/12/15/elon-musk-shares-video-of-craz...
- richbell 4y agoIf Elon Musk is legitimately afraid for his or his family's safety, it is strange that he did not file a police report and blocked people on Twitter for suggesting he do so. https://nitter.it/pic/orig/enc/bWVkaWEvRmtBR0FsUGFjQUE4MjQzLmpwZw== https://nitter.it/pic/orig/enc/bWVkaWEvRmtBR0FsUGFjQUE4MjQzL... https://nitter.it/@ZacksJerryRig/status/1603286484785586178 https://nitter.it/@ZacksJerryRig/status/1603286484785586178 Moreover, the narrative he's presenting doesn't make sense. Not only did the @ElonJet account not tweet for over 24 hours prior to the alleged incident, but people have determined that the location doesn't make sense for what he's claiming.
- woojoo666 4y ago> people have determined that the location doesn't make sense for what he's claiming. Details on this?
- richbell 4y agoHard to find the specific comment I was looking for. I think this is one of the main sources, in addition to ElonJet not having tweeted on December 13th (the day of the alleged incident). https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1603454821700452365 https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1603454821700452365
- MomoXenosaga 4y agothere are people who hang out by airports and record every flight in and out. Don't worry they want to classify that as cyber stalking next.
