In most other cases that has been released illegitimately in the first place though. That's not the case here. The information is publicly available because it is mandated to be as a condition of flying. Leaked private information is obviously different. This is just a case of a billionaire with a god complex wanting to have his cake and eat it too.

> In most other cases that has been released illegitimately in the first place though. Nope. A lot of it comes from public sources, such as property taxes, vehicle registrations, court records... It's still doxxing.

> The information is publicly available because it is mandated to be as a condition of flying. No, it's not. Elon's jet receives a private temporary aircraft identifier unconnected to its owner every month, because it is subscribed to this program: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy This government program was specifically designed to hide the link between an aircraft identifier and the owner of the aircraft. If the link between Elon Musk and the aircraft identifier he flies with was meant to be publicly available, why does this program exist in the first place?

  If it’s not meant to be public. Why do his planes broadcast the information through the airwaves to anyone who wants to listen?

  Is it possible that this program is ineffectual, because of publicly-available information from other sources that can be cross-referenced? If I were to put together a badly implemented privacy program that people can trivially circumvent without breaking the law, who should be blamed when people do exactly that? Me, or the people doing the trivial yet legal circumvention?
