  This is a good thing for us normal humans. More privacy is always a good thing. Let it spread further…

  I mean do we have any reason to expect it to travel further? The system made a few billionares feel uncomfortable, now they don’t feel uncomfortable, the law isn’t going to expand.

  If a face tracking or car tracking system were to go live. Billionares would find a way to exempt themselves from it, but make sure it was live for everyone else. The reason there aren’t exceptions made for this rule, are because there’s not a whole lot of poor private plane owners.

      can you explain where I’m missing here? unless I’m majorly missing something, is there a benefit for people who don’t own, or regularly travel in private planes?
