    They know how it works, but they also know the average person won’t go against a billionaire and the army of lawyers they can afford. It’s a scare tactic.

      Yeah, that seems pretty probable, especially for someone with such a manicured public persona. Still though, they don’t really have a legal leg to stand on no matter how many lawyers they throw at it.

      Yeah, but if the cat is out of the bag with respect to her tail number, then it’s just some rando typing in a random tail number in a flight tracking database. You don’t have to be setting up a dedicated service to do this, just using publicly available stuff that would let you track a random delta flight just as easily as some celebs private plane.

      Unless you start declaring the public tracking databases must honor requests to filter ‘special’ tail numbers from queries.
