Did Twitter really fact check Elons own tweet lol
@JxckS sadly I don't think that fact check is a thing in Europe (have never seen that in the wild). Still interesting that they fact checked his tweet.

@JxckS
Hate to agree with Elon about anything, but I actually agree with him on this. Sure it's federally protected under case law precedent, but the practice of posting real-time lication data seems like a dangerous practice.

The newspapers in MS did something similar to Medgar Evers, which my dad documented as a field officer for the US Commission on Human Rights. I wouldn't want anyone posting my movements either.

@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS could be fixed by not owning a private jet

@deanstoneart @JxckS
Not really anybody's business that Ding Dong owns a private jet.

I may not like it because it's wasteful. I may truly despise everything Ding Dong has done recently. I may hope he loses every penny and control of his companies because of what I consider acts against the interests of the USA.

That has nothing to do with how I feel about public disclosure of his flight records or his right to spend his own money on legal purchases.

@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS it public air traffic. What I’m saying is if he didn’t always travel in a personally owned jet one could make fewer inferences about his location.
@deanstoneart @JxckS
If he had any brains, he would wrap ownership within a shell corp.
@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS In the case of flight data, the U.S. public pays for all the flight control towers, runways, traffic controllers, etc. It may be inconvenient for a super rich guy like Musk to have people know where he's landing his luxury jet, but if he flew commercial he could be tracked as well. He could always just ride around in his limo like the impoverished millionaires...
@Sarcasmo @JxckS
Can we separate the legitimate needs of the air traffic control system & law enforcement from the public's desire to know the comings & goings of billionairs?
@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS Not entirely, I don't think. Not saying it's Elon, but if an individual took control of a worldwide communication system along with members of a government hostile to the U.S., then that individual's use of airport infrastructure largely paid for by American taxpayers could conceivably be of public interest beyond law enforcement. I would suggest law enforcement's interests and those of the public at large aren't always the same.
@Sarcasmo @JxckS
Unfortunately, that's true. A percentage of law enforcement has been compromised. That was made abundantly clear after 2016 & certainty after 1/6. The rot goes deep.
@Sarcasmo @JxckS
If Ding Dong flew business class, would the public have access to passenger lists?

@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS No, you're absolutely right and any implication on my part that they would is incorrect. Passenger Name Records are used all the time by Homeland Security and law enforcement but the public isn't granted access.

However, were Musk to fly commercial, he would find himself tracked by members of the public and their mobile phone cameras, as Ted Cruz did when leaving a Texas ice storm for Cancun a couple years ago.

@Sarcasmo @JxckS
I'm glad DHS & other authorities have this info; equally glad that the public doesn't have access.

@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS Right. There is a lot of public information out there which crosses the line I think if collated and distributed, I agree with the premise.

A plane though is pretty coarse. Is he on it? Probably, but that is an inference. The end points, airports, tend to be large diffuse locations.

It is not like tracking where a cars travels, or where a phone is. Such as Teslas do and Twitter plans to do (for location based ads) ... !

@cowman @JxckS
We all should probably turn off our location data on our phones, but that would be a bummer. I've never deleted my account from the #DirtyBird site, but if I learned that Numnutz could potentially track any individual he wanted, I would go on there and delete my account.
@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS Point is, it wasn't his movements, rather the movement of the aircraft. It's possible he isn't even on them. Plus anyone can go to flightradar and track any flight that has ADS-B

@kalmor @JxckS
That makes sense.

Seems like personally identifiable information should be decoupled from the flight data in recording, and apparently is.

How are people using this data to track individuals? How was a stalker able to figure out that someone close to Numnutz was on that flight?

@JxckS The rest of the note-
@20user89 @JxckS so twitter violates the law in their ToS…

@sxpert @JxckS The case centers on what the government can limit, not what Twitter can establish as their ToS

@20user89 @JxckS Rest is funny too because Edgelord then proceeded to doxx somebody else in the SAME thread, against his new/old rules.
@JxckS Saw today the same for his older one too 😂
@JxckS much thanks for your work
@JxckS Well Elon clearly changed the doxxing policy so that real-time flight information now violates it. Which of course the company can do, buuuuuuut it's exactly what Elon is saying Twitter *shouldn't* have done after January 6th!
@JxckS I assume he is screaming right now at a nearby engineer forcing them to hardcore code a way so the community is never allowed to add fact checks to his tweets.
@JxckS I hope you are going to be working with the EFF (https://www.eff.org). Elon did you dirty and clearly doesn’t believe in free speech.

@JxckS now wasn’t the first amendment, his entire gimmick for popular rising his acquisition of Twitter?
Trevor Valle (Bonapartheid let me change it!) on Twitter

“Hey folks, sorry, but Emperor ManChild just said: "Real-time posting of someone else’s location violates doxxing policy, but delayed posting of locations are ok" Looks like live-streaming, live-tweeting threads, and real-time coverage of public events is now illegal on Twitter.”

Twitter

@JxckS Obviously not.

If you are paying attention to any followers (etc.) on your new platforms, ignore the one from altTwitter from the user “Elon.” That’s my throwaway/test account on my Mastodon instance. I’m sure Elon is stalking you, but it ain’t that account, that I can tell you. Long story, but I have to use that account to search for other server/instance users.

@scott @JxckS altTwitter dot com fact check: true.
@scott I love you for hijacking his name 😂
@JxckS Keep up the good work!
@JxckS Looks like the passionate twitter community didn't agree (those checks are crowdsourced)
@JxckS how do you feel that you were probably a primary driver to him buying twitter in the first place though?
@JxckS ElonJet was suspended????
@JxckS See qualified counsel. He's targeting you, ElonJet was suspended here. Good luck.
@JxckS great to see you here, extend your talents beyond the boundaries of Twitter.
@JxckS yeah, the Community Notes writers have been trying to keep up.
