How is this different then doxing?

  Because airports have a giant security ring around airplanes, so you can’t physically get close to him with this information. And it’s transient, so you can’t lurk and wait to strike. It’s like a comedian doing a planned show.

    Plus, the tracking is on Elon's jet, not Elon as a person. So nothing is preventing Elon from sending his jet to NY, while flying, charter or first class, to Miami.

    A stalker could easily watch the exit for the suites (where private jets go from) at the airport.

      not different from a celebrity doing a planned appearance

        People's personal movements are not promotional activities.

          this is not tracking Elon Musk personal movements, this is tracking 3 corporate airplanes owned by Space X. There is some overlap, but it's the same as loitering in front of one of his companies HQ might help you find him.

            It’s literally called Muskjet. The purpose is to track an individual. Loitering in front of his company’s HQ would also be stalkerish.

              I wonder what changed for him since last month when he explicitly said he wasn't going to ban @elonjet.

      A stalker doesn't need @elonjet. They can just go to https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ https://globe.adsbexchange.com/.

  > How is this different then doxing? Because it's public information that's literally broadcast to anyone listening by every aircraft above a certain size/speed. This isn't information that is considered secret or even that one needs to dig to expose, the aircraft is actively transmitting regular messages containing its location, heading, and speed to anyone within radio range which can be tens or hundreds of miles depending on altitude.

  Many types of doxing are free speech
