All aircraft have APRS transponders on them and the info is public, the plane is tracked, she isn’t.

XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 months agoI mean… tbh I wouldn’t like somebody to track all my movements with my car and make them public to all to see.
I mean technically they are already tracked in my case at minimum by Google explicitly by me in my case as I share my location and I have tracking enabled, but they don’t share directly with people, so Tom that doesn’t like me can go and cut my tires. There might be a security flaw some day…and Tom might get access but I’m my case I will risk it.

But you’re also not obscenely wealthy because of being a public figure, kinda different rules, no?

Yes, but in your example your location is not posted to publicly available records. If she doesn’t like that an air planes flight records are publicly available for anyone to look up, she should contact her representative, or otherwise campaign to have the law changed, not harass someone who is basically just copying and pasting information from one public database no one is on to a public space everyone is on.
Beyond that I would also add my opinion that for the average person hiring extra security or taking extra precautions is an undo burden. For someone who is worth more than I will make in 250 lifetimes I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that is one of the costs of the path that she has chosen to travel.

Well yeah but that is available and public doesn’t mean that I would like a guy to shout it all around. Of course I am against the harassing I wasn’t saying that is ok but I understand people not liking it as I said.
Yeah sure they will live they can deal with it but that doesn’t mean that it can annoy or bother them.
