it seems obvious publishing this might not be fully appreciated by the crowd who jams. has this project generated any complaints?
- jjwiseman 4y agoMeatsock my old buddy! Nope, no one has complained to me yet. Back before I made this site, when I was publishing my maps on twitter, on-demand, I did get DMs like "I'm Ukrainian. Could you make maps for [range of dates] for [region]?" and I had to think through the ethics. Was I OK publishing information that could not-inconceivably get someone killed in a war zone? Was that person really Ukrainian? Did it matter? I decided that this information is being broadcast for anyone to easily receive, and also that it is self-censoring in a way: aircraft generally don't fly with ADS-B in a war zone, so I don't have data for hot war zones. (But I'm open to revisiting if someone has a different perspective.)
