Yes.

Should I be able to say where Elon Musk's plane is going to land?

That is public record as all flight plans have to be submitted in advance to the transportation agency responsible for the safe operation of transportation. That flight plan must include point and time of departure, destination and expected time of arrival and desired path and altitude. The agency can then either approve, modify or reject the flight plan. There is an application called Flight Aware that has the information on all planned and in-air flights. Flight Aware is current used by many local news broadcasters for information on flight cancellations.

What you should not be allowed to do is follow him and report his exact location minute by minute which is what the reporter was doing.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

I'm not sure. I'm against doxxing because it is dangerous and could lead to injury or loss of life. And if it's a matter of public record...maybe it shouldn't be.

And very frequently endanger or inconvenience innocent people who just happen to be there. But copier addict doesn't care because liberals like him love to inconvenience other people.

No, the reporter wasn't doing that. But, besides that, there was also the ElonJet twitter account that Musk banned which was only reporting the location of Musk's jet. Another thin skinned snowflake rightie canceling someone else.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

This is my opinion. Telling the location and time when a private plane is landing could be very dangerous and if it's public knowledge, maybe it shouldn't be. Why is it public knowledge anyway? What's the reasoning behind that?

Here in the US it has to be for aviation safety. Imagine the accidents that could happen if there were private planes were flying around at cruising with no filled flight plans and no transponder. Even flight schools circling their local airport and doing touch-and-goes. Hell even some drones are required to file flight plans to ensure there are not other craft in or near the same airspace.

Twitter Files part 9: Vast web of coordination between tech giant and CIA, State Department, other agencies



Substack writer Matt Taibbi released the latest installment of the "Twitter Files" on Christmas Eve, detailing that coordination between the tech giant and government agencies went way beyond the FBI. In a massive series of tweets, Taibbi insisted that the FBI was simply the "doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA."


The journalist explained that Twitter had so many interactions with OGAs (or "other government agencies" as they are called in the tweets), the company couldn’t keep them all straight: He explained, "Twitter had so much contact with so many agencies that executives lost track. Is today the DOD, and tomorrow the FBI? Is it the weekly call, or the monthly meeting? It was dizzying."


He explained how some of the coordination developed, specifically growing out of FBI connections: "On June 29th, 2020, San Francisco FBI agent Elvis Chan wrote to [a] pair of Twitter execs asking if he could invite an "OGA" to an upcoming conference:"


Taibbi noted that it was an "open secret at Twitter that one of its executives was ex-CIA, which is why Chan referred to that executive’s ‘former employer.’" He added that "one of the most common forums was a regular meeting of the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), attended by spates of executives, FBI personnel, and – nearly always – one or two attendees marked ‘OGA.’"


What was discussed in these meetings? Usually "foreign matters."


But Taibbi added, "Despite its official remit being ‘Foreign Influence,’ the FITF and the SF FBI office became conduit for mountains of domestic moderation requests, from state governments, even local police:"


Just as Twitter was having so many meetings with governmental agencies that it couldn’t keep them straight, the company was also inundated with FBI requests on "problem accounts."


Less than six weeks before the 2020 election, FBI agent Chan contacted Twitter exec Stacia Cardille about having identified more "Twitter handles which appear to provide misleading information" in them.






Noting how unusual it all seemed, Taibbi remarked of what the latest batch of Twitter files uncovered: "It seemed to strike no one as strange that a ‘Foreign Influence’ task force was forwarding thousands of mostly domestic reports, along with the DHS, about the fringiest material."


Taibbi revealed an October 1, 2020, e-mail, just over a month before the presidential election, an unnamed Twitter exec described being left "waiting for more evidence" when it came to Russian influence claims from the State Department. This person admitted, "Our window on that is closing, given that government partners are becoming more aggressive on attribution.

Remember that FBI is acting on behalf of the government and there's a process that they must go through. There are limits. They can't just go to a private company and say take this and that down.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

(CNN)Congress has passed a measure aimed at making it harder to overturn a certified presidential election, a major moment that marks the first legislative response to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol and then-President Donald Trump's relentless pressure campaign to stay in power despite his 2020 loss.

The legislation, which would overhaul the 1887 Electoral Count Act, was included as part of a massive $1.7 trillion government funding bill that the Senate passed on Thursday and the House passed on Friday. It will now go to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.

The measure to overhaul the Electoral Count Act would clarify that the vice president's role in overseeing the electoral result certification in Congress is strictly ceremonial. It would raise the threshold to make it harder for lawmakers to force votes attempting to overturn a state's certified result. Additionally, it includes provisions that would prevent efforts to pass along fake electors to Congress.

More vague statements of not much.

And, in 2020, the government was trumpy.

The terrible "progressive" idea that the U.S. government is meant to manage the lives of American citizens (along with the world at large) has failed as expected.
