Ken WhiteWell ACTUALLY Twitter accounts that use public records to track airplane movements are a historically recognized EXCEPTION to the First Amendment, if you actually cared about free speech you'd know that.
Peter Yang, MD - Yaz@Popehat Seems like he arbitrarily ignores vs. cites whatever is most convenient to him doing and saying whatever he wants
Morten Kjeldgaard@Popehat The Founding Fathers were very strict about this.

Kansas Grant@Popehat Personally, I'll claim "IANAL" on that one.
Erik Johnson@Popehat it's genuinely amusing that you're being forced to troll yourself in the absence of a strong shitlord presence here
Annika Sparkles@terminalmage @Popehat I had to read it three times thank you lol
mr_baub@Popehat Of course that makes sense. An originalist reading of the First Amendment shows that there was zero mention of flight data, thus no free speech violation. If the Founders thought over-the-air radio broadcasts were protected, they would have written about them.
Chris Winters@Popehat After the Revolutionary War, the founders realized the air force needed to be deregulated to protect it from government overreach.
They also required air traffic controllers to be prohibited from forming unions.

The only beings lower than Musk are the lickspittles who cling to his ankles and hiss at anyone who dares suggest he's inconsistent or hypocritical.

Tom Wild@angiebaby @Popehat This is great. I think I read it five times for the visual.
It’s like savoring Hemingway.

WhereDoesThisButtonGo@Popehat Is this the part where we call you a groomer and stuff or is that passé already?
MPHinPgh@WhereDoesThisButtonGo @Popehat meds! Don't forget the meds!
@WhereDoesThisButtonGo I believe this is the part where we scream about all these people having pronouns to our son X Æ A-12.
Kate@Popehat As Justice Holmes famously said, “delete your account, sir. Take the L.”
“Just here for the ratio,” said Justice White, concurring.

Layne Ainsworth@Popehat what is HILARIOUS is this: The also tried to block the URL to the IG account of the tracker. But the standard short URLs or even passing BOGUS ARGUMENTs to the same URL worked fine.
Someone did exactly what the boss asked for an not one bit more.
SentientTP@Popehat you can't shout RICO in a crowded airplane

E.G. Phillips@Popehat People who want actions to be consistent with pronouncements and policies to be implemented impartially are boring and don't see the thrill that comes from trying to please a capricious, petty, and paranoid tech overlord.
Nicholas Peterson@Popehat the founding fathers both understood the concepts of social media, air travel, transponders, and billionaires and enumerated their impact on all of the amendments. Dummy.

@Popehat What about Mastodon accounts? /s
(in all due seriousness, I've got an itch to make a 4th mastodon bot after having seen that news).
Darryl Ramm@Popehat I've very interested in less online tracking of Elon's mouth movements.
MelissaThe young man has already set himself up here on Mastadon.

As a software engineer, I request you STAY IN YOUR LANE and stop stating stupid legal beliefs. That is OUR lane, thankyouverymuch.

@eagerpebble @Popehat I love your optimism, in a world where we can’t even get people driving CARS to stay in their lanes. You are clearly living your best life.

Did the Founders have any sites tracking airplane movements? No. Q.E.D.
Zoomer Antimillenarian@Popehat Kicking out an essential part of the OSINT community is a great way to start losing important power-users. Elon, praise be upon him, is doing his best to kill the hellsite.
@Popehat On a slightly more serious note, it's amazing how unstable he's become.
Tony “Abolish ICE” Arcieri🌹🦀@Popehat that’s Amendment XXVIII, right?
Aquatic Cat-Fey@Popehat WELL ACTUALLY the Founding Father's intended all along for there to be a carve-out in the 1st Amendment to protect billionaires' feelings. 🤣
Jake@Popehat sounds like a RICO to me. Someone’s got to be held accountable for the release of that public information!
Chance The Lawyer ⚡︎@Popehat imma bout to sue my con law profs for malpractice
@Popehat most don’t have how the 1st amendment works
JD@Popehat Look, everyone knows you can't out flier via avowed tweeter.

Ah, yes, the widely recognized "Fire in a crowded hangar" exception.

Jonah SteinHe is so bad at this. If he didn’t want people paying attention to where his plan was, he just put an AirTag on it and then write a bot to ping the location every 10 minutes. @Popehat

Norman@Popehat As we know the Kanye West test has superceded the Brandenburg test. The question the Ye test asks is: "Does this speech make Elon Musk angry enough to punch someone?" If the answer is "Yes" then it's unprotected speech.
@Popehat Hey Popehat, was surprised but not surprised to see your departure from Twitter. Nice to see you here. I've been a regular since the days when Groklaw closed and used to read your popehat.com blog.
Question: Do you ever think you'll go back to writing on your website again?
Cheers
Annon. Esq.Didn’t take first amendment, but I can appreciate some legal sarcasm… but I would be careful as some people may not realize you are riffing Dr. Jonathan Swift /Stephen Colbert.
Happy we have lawyers making the switch.
ingenomada@Popehat Anyone has the website URL? Musk could ban the account but I bet the website is still online?
@ingenomada @Popehat Even better, the account moved over here!
Bob Blaskiewicz 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🇬🇱I'm mad at the universe I know what this is about without looking it up.
Anarko Trafikante@Popehat "historically"? I don't think Twitter has been around long enough for there to a historic standard.
toxtethogrady@Popehat Musk hasn't thought out all the details...
Brian R. Sala 🍻@Popehat
Obviously.

@Popehat Do you have case law to shows this?
DHa@Popehat still no exception to being triggered or a snowflake

John Shirley@Popehat Musk is almost as ignorant as Trump.
@Popehat I know it regulated in airports and inside aircraft, I didn't know telling some you know where a plane was also regulated. Your citation to the law is what convinced me.
