I'd never heard of the @elonjet Twitter account until a certain sociopath removed it from the big website he now controls.

I gather it's back online there, but I'm glad there's an @elonjet Mastodon account that I think everyone should tell their friends and colleagues about.

@dangillmor I’ve known about elonjet since its inception. I think it’s a form of doxxing, and just as potentially pernicious. I don’t think it is in the public interest to put this info out there, regardless of whose travel is being revealed, be it someone you absolutely loathe, someone you absolutely love, or someone you’ve never heard of.

Would it be any different if I started a “dancar” account on mastodon, tracking Dan Gillmor’s car’s whereabouts at any moment?

@brianstorms because federal law does not permit you too do that with a personal vehicle, for starters. The flight data is public for good reasons.
