Well then…
As a #SovereignCitizen, I will not comply with FAA drone laws 😏
Bonus points: Y’all can use an app called Rattlegram to convert a sting of text into audio that can be played over amateur radio. And if you encrypt the text beforehand using encryption tools such as Secure Space Encryptor (known as Paranoia Text Encryption on iOS), or Open PGP (both are open source), before pasting the ciphertext into Rattlegram (also open source), you have encrypted off-grid communications.
This is #Murica! The president can ignore laws. So can we. 😎
Luckily the FAA has no power in europe
And then when their anonymous airplanes crashed into each other, the world felt conflicted about it.
Oh no that would be so sad. Please no.
Putin loves this simple hack
Paparazzi can become useful by simply being the ones reporting the plane movement as they follow them around in person.
I hope a traffic controller guides Elon’s jet into the tarmac.
even better, accidentally into trumps airforce one.
These two are the least of out worries now.
Imagine this law in like 1999
Wait! Think about the children! What if we need to track pedophiles!?
The pedophiles are in power, except “real pedophilia is when the gays do it”.
Only poor antifascist trans people are pedophiles dummy. /s
You mean Republicans? Yeah they won’t allow that, silly
Appropriate
Anyone who isn’t rich in America can go fuck yourself is what they’ve been saying for a while in words and actions. Millionaires are the middle class today, actors and athletes and pop stars. Anything below is just a fucking scum fuck to them.
Oddly, millionaires aren’t really the middle class. House’s in California routinely cost more than a million dollars. And a lot of people probably have a million dollars of retirement in one form or another. (Pensions have a value that very often tops a million). The middle class you are describing (athletes and pop stars) probably are more like 100 million or something. We just don’t have a good name for that.
What the “middle class” can afford has changed quite a bit in the last few decades. Owning a home is arguably “upper class” at this point. The median US income was only $80k in 2023. Pentions are also getting increasingly rare. What used to be considered middle class is now struggling to get by. Middle class is defined by the income of the middle third of the population, not by a particular lifestyle.
Petite bourgeoisie is what they are called. Wealthy people without an aristocratic title, not part of the ruling class and who still use their own labor to create wealth.
millionaires are way above middle class, middle class is usually around depending on area, is 50k-100k.year. millionaires are way above that. they usually buy multimillionaire(5+million) dollar homes, and often sometimes have multiples. actors,c elebrities are hundred millionaires, they are very wealthy individuals, billionaires are just obscene.
You’re missing their point, they’re saying from the point of view of those in power millionaires are middle class.
Although there are some that distinguish a “managerial class” that is in-between the middle class and the billionaires : people like CEOs and such, with net worth in the tens of millions but who are not those who benefit the most from the system and are culturally distinct. I think it’s a useful concept personally, as their interests aren’t necessarily the same as the owner class but they still have a lot of political power.
How about drones? If you don’t want all of your information avaible online and don’t want remoteid to directly tell anyone and everyone where you live you can request not to do any of that stuff, right? Oh no, this is just for rich people flying in private jets that can transport humans and tons of cargo.
Elon now can more easily buy his specialK, lol
all that premium cocaine from columbia.
It’s also for middle class people flying around in single-engine bug smashers
This doesn’t do anything, all these aircraft are already in trusts. You can still track them, the N number/ICAO ID is what people are using
This is actually most helpful to the little guys that own $20,000 airplanes.
I have a small airplane and it’s always bothered me that my name and address are publicly accessible through the FAA registry.
Most pilots I know are careful about photos they publish online showing their tail number printed in large bold letters on either side of the aircraft. This registration number can be entered into websites like flightaware.com and someone is literally two clicks from seeing my full name and home address.
Why would you want to hide that information? As long as planes use public skies everyone should be identified. Thats like the very basics of every secure operation.
Absolutely air traffic in the sky should be identified. There is no problem with that, but it’s the idea that it is too easy to find out everything about an aircraft owner by simply seeing the number on their tail.
The rich guys obfuscate that info with shell corps to own the aircraft.
Shouldn’t everyone have the right to the same level of privacy regardless of how much money they have?
Maybe the rich guys shouldn’t be able to it instead and thats what should change?
Just like with the cars.
You can find out anything as well with the license plates.
No you cannot. You cannot easily find someone’s address from looking at their plate. You need more information, or to do some advanced searching. It is simply not the same.
If you own your own home, anyone can get your full name through property records. Is this really that different?
I was looking up bike lanes in a city I was thinking of buying a house in and the map had property lines on it, with the registered owners names plastered in every space.
It is different because you typically need to know the municipality I live in first.
Also the registration allows anyone to track me anytime I fly.
How would you feel if you had a public gps transponder on your car publicly showing who you, where you are, and where you live? Also what if you are required to plaster that registration number on the side of your vehicle in large letters that can be seen from a block away?
It’s a massive invasion of personal privacy.
How would you feel if you had a public gps transponder on your car publicly showing who you, where you are, and where you live?
Buy a new car, you won’t be far from that.
The new car is worse. They will sell your info to the highest bidder.
And to every other bidder, too, of course.
Buy an old car, travel on public roadways
ALPR
:-/
Neither is right
Not really. But the FAA could use some improvement on privacy issues.
Can you take me for a ride on your plane?
Shitposters ride for free
Hell yeah :D
So can guys like Epstein…
It’s the same group of people. They’re buddies.
What’s the difference?
And Musk. And Trump.
Honestly, I think this will be a bigger boon to folks like Elevated Access than to the billionaires of the world. Makes it a little harder for some chud who doesn’t like what they’re doing to show up at a pilot’s home with a rifle.
Glad to hear there is a good thing to come out of this
This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don’t care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.
If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?
Huh… Recent context has really ruined jokes like this…
You have to go at it the other way, now:
As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don’t have money, then what will trickle down to me?
Wait no that’s still not funny at all.
i call it trickle up, or reverse pyramid.
Maybe they’re rich people saying fuck y’all, but TBH we’ve been able to keep website registration info private for years, and privacy is such a big thing now, sure why not.
Aircraft are sort of expensive and they can cause large scale damage to the public. At a certain point, the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
If they want privacy, they can reregister their planes to an LLC. Having Congress pass this loophole was just Musk’s way of flexing his power over the legislative body.
the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
Why? This “right to know” is pitchfork mentality, really. If something happens the authorities can handle it and only they should have that kind of access, not John Doe. Not all who own planes are millionaires (those probably do register to an LLC).
And you could probably get it with a subpeona or FOIA request if you really need it. This just stops random people from snooping.
Aircraft are sort of expensive and they can cause large scale damage to the public
Sounds like what somebody would say to carefully lay the groundwork for abolishing online anonymity. Computers can cause large scale damage to the public, and they’re cheap!
Precisely.
I’m no fan of random billionaires, but I’m a huge fan of privacy.
