I imagine posting live updates on someone would have to come close to the textbook definition of stalking, and that people doing it -- journalists or otherwise -- could be liable for aiding and abetting harm that comes to the one whose updates are being posted if someone committed violence based on that information. I don't see how this would be different than someone tweeting where Jane Smith is every time she moves and then Jane Smith's ex, following those tweets, murders her.
I also suspect, based on the physical attack following the posting of the movements of Elon's jet, the FAA will grant permission for filing sealed or secret flight plans so that no flight tracking apps will know when N628TS is departing or where it's going.
- likeclockwork 4y agoThere was no physical attack.
- Zigurd 4y agoThe journalists were banned after they discovered the time was not proximate to any flights, and the location wasn't near an airport. Elon was caught in a lie. Subsequently he displayed juvenile behavior, shutting down Spaces for the entire product and banning real journalists from important publications. Furthermore, N628TS only appeared on crowdsourced plane trackers. Nobody, not even Area-51 workers, fly without a tail number visible.
