I have a rule for reading materials: I read them till the first BS sentence. This one made me stop at: "Most problematic, it’s a behavior that kills people".

Because it's leasing an asset, not owning one.

Well, first of all, it's not "prohibited", it's "prohibited without a consent". Second, less personal data - less useful (relevant) ads, less revenue for Meta - less investment in R&D, less open source/research, more focus on "gathering contextual portrait". Which... won't end monopoly if that's what the general public on HN wants (hard to say what this whining is all about). Maybe more advertisers will go to Google instead (if the ruling is only about Meta).

But that's solely because media has always been a drug (clickbaits, cognitive tricks, etc.) serving as a power tool. The ones you mentioned, including HN belong one way or another to a "Democratic" party. And all these billionaires, well, they chose their side (as all billionaires do when it comes to power and politics) and we have what we have (i.e. "democratic" media not discussing "republican-leaning" billionaires' jets).

If a certain law or policy instructs you to jump off the roof immediately, would you necessarily do so? Also, technical means (ads-b) and regulations around accessing the data are two different things, no?

Also, why do you have to show that directive agressive tone to me? I didn't do anything bad to you.

I'm not sure "free speech" equals "data is public", and I'm not sure that the flight tracking data at least for private jets should be made public at all.

Or at least I don't see a difference between private cars location being vs private jet location data being released.

But many journalists have crypto assets themselves? :)

Let's face it: this whole massive money pie appeared because (mostly educated) people started gambling thinking there's an easy way up. And they do so at scale because becoming wealthy nowadays is super hard comparing to, say, 50-70 years ago.

Mo' free lunch paid by "somebody else"! Let's fight inflation together! ;)
