One poster states that about half of the journos suspended had posted the links, and wasn’t sure why the rest were suspended, but the assumption is that it was because they criticized Musk.
Journalists Suspended From Twitter
Musk would have had an easy time restricting his flight data from being made public. Why didn’t he do this a long time ago...for the safety of his family? Surely his security detail would have recommended it. Makes no sense.
from faa.gov:
Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD)
The Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) Program implements the requirements set forth in 2018 HR 254 FAA Reauthorization Bill: Section 566, Right to Privacy When Using Air Traffic Control System.
The Administrator shall, upon request of a private aircraft owner or operator, block the registration number of the aircraft from any public dissemination or display, except in data made available to a Government agency, for the noncommercial flights of the owner or operator.
The LADD program provides aircraft owners the ability to have their flight data filtered from distribution via the FAA System Wide Information Management (SWIM) data feed or filtered from public display by web sites that participate in the program. Vendors who subscribe to FAA SWIM Data feeds are bound by a Data Access User Agreement to filter any LADD participant from public display of aircraft flight data.
The Privacy ICAO aircraft address (PIA) program enables interested aircraft owners to request an alternate, temporary ICAO aircraft address, which will not be assigned to the owner in the Civil Aviation Registry (CAR).
Aircraft owners or designated representatives may request Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD). Limiting aircraft data from the FAA data systems will limit flight tracking information transmitted over the internet by participating internet flight tracking vendors. "Unblocking" will ensure aircraft flight data will be included in the FAA data feed utilized by participating internet flight tracking vendors.
Starting to wonder....about all the drama.
“His child was tracked down and follwed by a person dressed in black wearing a ski mask just a day or so ago. “
And the super-smart incognito guy went on to clearly display his license plate number. Dumbest stalker ever.
