its gonna take forever to federate because of all the deletion the instance workers are having to do; but we just posted an @acarsdrama update.

We’ve been able to agree on some terms that will keep the bot up and running, while addressing concerns.

So it’ll become more like an “ACARS Fesshole” - in that their will be no identifying info on any of the messages, including flight #’s, Reg, location etc.

The messages are also subject to a 2 hour delay.

It’s kinda lame, but kinda ok, because it’s better than Nay-cars drama, but yeah, we’ll see how it goes.

@SecureOwl @acarsdrama crazy thought here, but maybe it’s the people transmitting sensitive data in the clear that create the privacy and security issues, rather than those listening
@lukewaite @acarsdrama yep, but as with most laws, the laws and reality of the situation are often years apart
