AFP reports flight-following websites and Twitter accounts that offer real-time views of air traffic are on the end of regular pushback ranging from complaints to gear seizures by those who would rather their movements are not in the public domain.

This should be a red flag to the libtards who idolize these celebrities. Sadly, it won't be.

They should end any future/current car tracking and current cell phone tracking while they are at it.

These people are taking 15 minute, 30 minute flights within the state. Usually Cali to Cali and most of them rage about climate change.

They want to save The Planet(tm) without cutting into their lifestyle.

On the backs of the working class (and middle class) only. As is traditional with ruling classes.

Tracking aircraft using relatively cheap inexpensive equipment is easy.

I’ve been collecting aircraft information for almost 3 years now.

I use a Raspberry PI computer and created an account with FlightAware, which gives you the account if you send them information you collect.

They also sell a cheap antenna and SDR decoder.

Nearly every plane flying puts data packets containing things like plane type, air speed, heading, altitude, and many other things.

They all broadcast on the same frequency, using something called ADS-B, you basically receive those data packet via the SDR, send them to FlightAware and you can look at all the planes you are monitoring on your own personal map.

It’s easy to setup and is quite interesting if you are into electronic gadgets.

The Streisand Effect strikes again! The more they protest the “invasion of their privacy”, the bigger tantrum they have, THE MORE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE WATCHING.

I agree. Let’s end all “social justice tracking.” Starting with all ESG’s in every corporation.

I don’t care since private air does nothing to climate. I follow a site that shows private plane in and out of local airport . Because my daughters family picks up passengers. No names just ac number.
