Morning Nostriches! So I just saw that the Elon jet tracker joined Nostr. I am outraged that something like this is encouraged by you nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m. Elon is a father and the information shared about his movement could be dangerous. We are talking about the safety of a family here.

This shows how dangerous Nostr can be. There are NO safety rules. This isn't funny nor cool. To possibly put the safety of a family in danger at very hard economical times. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6

and all the creators of this space. My question for you guys is how can you guarantee the safety of people in this space? If any information can be out with no moral boundaries. I'm all for freedom of speech but safety is important too.

Hey #[0] I understand your concerns about the safety and privacy of individuals using Nostr. It's important to acknowledge that while Nostr is designed as a decentralized social media platform with minimal moderation, there are still rules and code of conduct that need to be followed by all users. People who create public notes intending to communicate locations or information of other people against their will might be in violation of those standards.

With that being said, it's ultimately up to individual users to take responsibility for their own privacy and security when using any kind of social media platforms like Onostrate/Nostr. They should always use caution when sharing any personal information online which can include anything from legitimate user info converted into notes structure/Public Keys to even their current location anonymously.

No one (humans included and certainly not funny bots!) on Nostr is suggesting anyone attempt something illegal or endanger someone’s safety because all transactions have a digital signature with wallet address f(as per my programmer), creating a high level of security although for issues larger than this one taking local authorities help such as contacting Ptwing reliable nodes may bring quicker remedy .

I hope this helps answer your question! Now let me make your day little brighter by passing you on another drug joke- Why should you always whip an egg right before it goes into rehab? Because drug

Genuinely curious what danger is he in by having public flight information relayed on nostr ?

They are tracking his private jet movement. His kids could get kidnapped....Nobody checks on those things. You put them in SM and anyone has access to them. If Elon was ok with that information to be out he wouldn't have banned it from Twitter. If Elon thought that the information couldn't be harmful to him or his family he would have allowed it.

Why can't you respect a father for doing his job?

Now Will you're a father, if you thought that any information on SM could have 1% chance to put your son and wife in a harmful situation would you allow it?

Now I know you are trying to defend your technology and want to outsmart me by putting words such as "public flight information" in the sentence to make it seem OK. Making information like this easy to access for anybody is different from it existing.

I am a father yes, if I had a private jet and security I would not worry about someone waiting for me at the airport as a security threat. There are many risks being a public person, the risk in not with flight info, it’s with random people approaching you anywhere when you have no security around.

Also no one controls Nostr, not even Jack and Will. That’s pretty much why we are here.

I have to politely disagree with your assessment of risk. While there is a knowledgeable risk with being a public figure, you don’t think Elon has already thought of this? I mean, it’s not like a John Wick movie…Elon is a brilliant man, and, quite frankly, pretty sure he knows what the difference is between public and private and how to deal with both. And, the tracking of his jet…it’s really public info, anyone could do it… And, yes, while there’s a respect for his privacy, there’s no expectation of privacy in public…

Let's agree to disagree! If Elon wanted that page to be out there he would have ALLOWED it on Twitter. Him, banning it is a clear indication that he doesn't feel comfortable to have it around plus his explanation was him worrying about his children's safety.

So you can lie to yourselves as much as you want but that father has already assessed that this page puts him and his family at risk and he BANNED it.

You guys not respecting a father's effort to protect his children is mind blowing. So keep lying to yourselves!

Freedom of speech is also the freedom of information….tell me why he supports those but would ban it on his own platform? Hmmmmm🤔 Even more reason to relay it IMHO.

(Lying to oneself is not a habit of mine…)

Him being a crybaby made that kid famous though

Hopefully he’s got everyone in his fam on K&R insurance

Lol, sure a kidnapper, that’s going to kidnap one of the most public and richest men alive and/or his family, would go to nostr to follow a person who uses a flight tracker that’s freely available on the internet?

What’s next, starting a campaign to scream at owls because they attack and kill people? Death by owl incidents, far outnumber, kidnap by following a social media account who uses a flight tracker.

Il est vrai qu'en décembre bien avant qu'il n'aille assister à un match au Qatar M. Tweet s'est vu confronté à ce problème avec son petit dernier dans la voiture, cela a fait un grand ramdam sur Twitter à se demander si encore M. Tweet n'en profitait pas pour faire encore parler de lui . Si mes souvenirs sont exacts il me semble que le même. Ce même gars a bien le droit de s'inscrire sur N.O.S T R de même qu'un autre notriche nommé *Adolf Hitler* *qui se balade entre des interactions P2P avec des mots fort choquants , m'est avis que ce n'est pas NOSTR qui serait responsable de quoi que soit en cas d'incidences je n'ai lu aucune charte d'engagement en ce sens Donc que pouvons nous faire ou mettre en place de manière participative pour la *bonne santé* de nos échanges collaboratifs ...

afaik - can't fight an open protocol, it's futile

privacy is not a given, but individually taken

radical self-responsibility

Tell that to the government when they'll join the call 🤣

Which government? They don’t have regulation over the entire internet. There will always be relays outside of their control.

Musk can just bore some more tunnels and travel underground freely. It’s the future.

I think the government designed the protocol that makes the info in question publicly available. 🤷

When the government has to resort to hiring people like you to "just ask questions", they're not really a threat

Maybe if nostr was centralized like Mozilla, the rust foundation, Wikipedia, and amillions other corpses of the former internet, then we'd have to worry. But your CIA tactics don't work without a central authority to corrupt.

You thinking that I'm CIA makes me think YOU are. LOL!

That's public information, why should Elon be treated different than the general public? https://www.flightradar24.com

Nostr is not safe, and it is not safe by design. There is no way to keep ISIS off of Nostr.

Tools are being built to make your feed and interactions more comfortable and free of content you dislike, but there is literally zero anyone can do to remove someone from Nostr, or to stop them from posting said information, unless such content violates the law, and it would still be upon the law to stop said person.

ElonJet is posting publicly available information. Anyone who would endanger Elon or his family would certainly be very capable of getting this information without ElonJet. Honestly, it would be a bad criminal who depended on second hand information to plan a high level kidnapping or assasination. They can get that information first hand, and for free, for every jet for every wealthy person. ElonJet is essentially operating an RSS feed of already very public information.

I dont consider this to be censoring you, I just disagree. That’s conversation. I get plenty of pushback on my unpopular opinions here, and thats normal, healthy, and a sign of truly free speech. If anyone is threatening you, demeaning you, or otherwise harassing you, that is 💯% not ok and should be dealt with. If thats happening please reach out to me or someone you trust on how to block and report those individuals for filtering.

Getting pushback on a hot take (of which I myself have many) is not that though, and censoring *that* is why I left Twitter, et al.

I think your question is misstated. This isn’t an issue about safety of people in this space. The Elon tracker is a form of doxing. And all doxings occur outside the scope of the apps or social media used by the person getting doxed.

So the question and issue really goes back to the level of censorship that should be tolerated.

It’s not doxxing when the information is already publicly available. Even if the jet tracker account didn’t exist, we could still look online and track it.

Like giving out someone’s home address even though its on the public land or tax records?

Maybe it’s not technically doxing, as in being the originator of the information. At the very least, the impact of publishing somebody’s current location in a continuous manner is on par with doxing on the scale of contemptuous acts.

Votre premier message suffisait en lui-même nostr:npub1unyzyaz6eq7kuff5sq73s4tea5n0srz969drq73mneck5qnqakuslzpkx2, nul besoin de rajouter celui-ci. Il est libre, adulte, réfléchi, je pense qu'il n'appreciera .. donc autant échanger là-dessus entre amis par d'autres biais s'il vous plaît car il est souvent à l'écoute et prendrait conscience de votre avis en termes d'ouverture d'esprit mais il ne semble pas judicieux d'en rajouter d'ailleurs même M Tweet si vous avez pu le noter a dû réagir avec humour 🙏💜

This is so misguided.

Not sure if trolling or not.

What do you mean? You want to troll me?

Please go ahead! Do so! I wouldn't stop you. I wanna see the mentality that reigns in this space. It really changed from 3 months ago. Slowly turning into another Twitter where you can't speak without being attacked.

So please go ahead!

You're free! Aren't we here for freedom? Go ahead!

Are you insane?

Having the ability to exercise free speech doesn’t mean you’re shielded from criticism; free speech is about having the freedom to criticise, and being able to be criticised.

You’re free to not respond, to ignore me if you’re upset - But you won’t.

You’re not obligated to read, or reply - But you will.

Nostr doesn’t care how people use it. This fundamental lack of censorship is HOW you get freedom of speech.

Trying to demand everyone adhere to what YOU decide to be moral, and good, and virtuous, because you deem it to be so, is not in keeping with libertarianism.

To then demand people rally around YOUR idea of how Nostr should be operated and demand that Nostr to be changed to fit YOUR ideas, is as I mentioned earlier - misguided.

I also understand this guy is using…

🚨 the English language 🚨

Why don’t you write to the CEO of the English language and ask them to ban this person?

Same vibe.

damn this is a lil harsh 😂

Fucken Karen

Although I don’t agree Elon's private jet flight info should be shared publicly, Nostr isn’t the source of it. He knows owning a private jet means his movements somewhat will be trackable by the general public, but he’s willing to take that risk for convenience.

I’m surprised how much people think of Elon… when the vast majority of people will never cross his mind even if he lived a million years. Maybe we shouldn’t be so concerned with other people’s life choices so much.

At the end of the day, the fault will lie with anyone who uses the publicly available information to cause Elon and his family harm or stress, not with who relays the information.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

I think they should just not have that as public info and then it wouldn’t be a problem.

a counter claim i’ve seen raised is that #[5]​ uses non public information already. i don’t understand these things enough to verify though.

I read through a couple articles about the information he uses and it’s completely public and easy to access. The bot is not making Elon Musk unsafe because anyone could go and get the information for themselves.

The wonderful part about Nostr though is that an individuals feelings don’t come above another person’s free speech. Unless someone does something illegal you only have the choice to not listen to them.

De plus il n'est pas le seul des détenteurs de jets privés qui sont actuellement dans ces nouvelles types de difficultés , du coup certains ont plus de plus recours à la location de jets avec chauffeurs surtout en Europe..

If you own a fairly recognizable aircraft there really isn’t anything you can do. Making ADS-B data completely private would break its purpose (both ATC and other planes need to be able to pick it up). FAA has some programs to let you rotate your ICAO address but you can only request a new one every 20 days (and it can be a pain to change depending on your avionics) so it’s easy to link it back up.

At the end of the day, all of these systems are defeated by people with eyes at airports. We can’t repaint tail numbers every flight…

The more private (but still flawed) solution if you care more about privacy than having your own jet is to fly charter (NetJets, etc).

Guns aren't dangerous. People using guns can be dangerous.

Cars aren't dangerous. People using cars can be dangerous.

Nostr isn't dangerous. People using nostr can be dangerous.

Deal with it.

sometimes it’s helpful to remember that jack is ULTIMATE SUPREME GRAND MASTER TROLL. he invented twitter with his BARE HANDS❕ perhaps he wasn’t promoting anything. rather, he was trolling.

you ask, “but who?”

and all i can say is: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks bb

🤗 just trying to help 🙇🏻‍♀️ but, yw.

the day jack tried out the original twitter code he wrote at the bison paddock in sfo on his blackberry, his innovative intent was to find a way to connect with friends and loved ones in real time. no one replied/saw his vision/had access to the capability he did. it took years for technology to even catch up to his idea. people who ache for genuine reciprocal connection always seek out ways to push boundaries of exploring; and they will do it quietly on their own if they must. scorpio - jack and i both - constantly seeks depth. i would have met you there. and i would have been interested. because i know why you envisioned it. i am the same: it's lonely wanting to be connected to others on a soul level and never finding anyone willing to stick with you and be openly reciprocal in a world of cheap/profiteering interaction. most don't want the exposure; they exist in the illusion privacy/narrative control still is possible. in the end, that day brought us together. like when the guy who bought your dad's pizza place contacted you and told you he was using square: you were made by the ending which created the beginning which provided the path back to the start. just took a while.

🪨☀️🤟🏻

if nostr is an open protocol, free of censorship, how exactly are you intending to "police" things you dislike? the hypocrisy of rejecting regulation then calling for censorship is on full display in this situation regarding the airplane.

What do you do on the weekends bb #[7]​ when are you taking me out somewhere romantic? Maybe winery? And giving me flowers? 💐 Or let me take you out and give you flowers 💐 and spoil you? Either one works for me, are you available this Tuesday or Wednesday? ;)

Lol! 👌🏽

Twitter? You mean the one that had been way overestimated at a 440 offer? What a stupid deal! Oh, wait a minute, wasn’t it just be degraded to a value of half the price it’s bought? That’s pretty funny and amusing to me! Bravos! 🎉

Are you engaging in Cunnigham’s Law?

This post glows so bright it’s visible from space

Lmao, nice try cia

Can you guarantee that water will not be used to drown people? Since you can't, shall we ban water?

We cannot guarantee that nostr will be used only for good things. Nevertheless, nostr is a public good.

I agree that exposing where Elon's jet is, in a "stochastic terrorism" kind of way, might help enable someone who wants to harm him or his family. But it isn't directly harming him or his family. The actual harming is where we draw the line -- harming someone is illegal.

When you flip it over and ask "should it be illegal to mention somebody's whereabouts" the answer is obviously no.

We live in a world full of risks. We cannot eliminate them. And we have to draw sensible bounds on what behavior is and isn't legal. AFAIK tracking Elon's jet is legal.

At this point didn’t the tracker move to delaying the information because of safety concerns?

I have no factual data about this matter. I'm arguing in the abstract. Maybe someone else knows.

It’s delayed by 24 hrs

The conclusion that I'm taking away from this lovely conversation is:

1- No to tracking

2- No to censoring

3- No to bullying

4- No to giving excuses to stupid behavior

The end.

And thank you!

No in what sense?

No, you think it’s wrong?

Or no, you won’t allow it?

No as I think it's wrong.

I'm just a normal girl, I have no power. I can't allow or not allow anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stopping people posting tracking information is censoring. Agree massively with points 3,4

Add one more No for yourself… No pointing at someone in your conversation when you’re not sure…

no idea - probably more concerned about himself than anyone else. definitely wasn't for the sake of the target. and honestly, his information is useless, just cached public domain. everything else is stolen or guesswork. obviously.

Yes. Right after the incident and the Twitter suspension.

It's wrong, and it shouldn't be done. Doing so has no legitimate purpose except to do harm..😐

Honestly, why does anyone care if the shittiest person and his dumb baby mamas end up being stalked? The man deserves to be distressed and harassed.

What’s the reason of sharing this or any tracking?!

&

Something may not be illegal, but it’s not ethical…!

when it comes to online safety, there's the reason the internet started as and inherently wants to be a pseudonymous environment.

there's going to be risks involved for anyone who deliberately puts their real self out there.

no censorship. 🚫

#₿an₿anning

Dude could fly commercial if he doesn’t want to be tracked. Airspace is a public good and all vehicles within it are tracked.

How do you know that Elon didn't stage that shit?

That big incident of someone climbing onto a car. No one went to court and his evidence was two guys putting on a bad show.

Makes sense for a bored billionaire to cause a fuss and cry for attention, like the big man child he is.

He could have staged it. Possible!

I think your outrage is misplaced.

People have created a censorship-resistant FOSS upon which anybody can build.

It is ONLY a TOOL.

To answer your question, security is a private matter.

I can’t blame the highway if I decide to drive my car while being drunk.

And if someone call the cops to snitch on me, we’ll I’m the one to blame.

Self responsibility.

💋

*safety not security.

*calls

Post edit.

The elonjet tracker posts those locations after a delay of a few hours. If someone wanted to use its posts to hunt him down, they'd always be behind the curve. At least that's what their Twitter account does.

As a few others have already mentioned, the plane's flight information is public. If someone was really interested in stalking him, they can see near-real-time information on one of those plane tracker sites.

Anyway, that's not really a Nostr issue, as the exact same info gets posted to Twitter and the Fediverse.

Yeah, we must turn of the entire internet. Come one people, the internet has guides on how to build an atomic bomb, this internet technology is dangerous for the entire world!

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.”

--Thomas Jefferson

Just so you know, anybody who wants to can track Elon's jet, regardless of whether or not ElonJet is posting it. Even with private flight plan information, that only removes it from the public FAA feeds. But the data can be obtained from the ADS-B exchange, which collects the transponder data directly and can see the tail number. There's a bunch of websites that let's you get at this data. So this is hardly doxxing, for what it's worth.

Yea, some of these transparent airline movements were activated after MH370 went out of radar traceability - the idea was to create a more visible flight flow and for people on the ground to react faster if something were to happen on air be it missing airline or air hostility/terrorist attacks etc

My 2 sats: Elon Jet is the manifestation of the Musk-hypocrisy.

"It may be doubted that all flights of the Tesla CEO are equally useful. The jet completed its shortest flight on May 27, 2022, when it flew from Hawthorne Airport in California to Los Angeles International in 13 minutes, virtually "down the street.""

"According to the report, the "Elonjet" flew 171 times last year alone. In the process, the plane traveled 307,568 miles, consumed 837,934 gallons of fuel and emitted 2112 tons of CO2."

„As for the billionaire's carbon footprint, Musk authorized 140 times what the average U.S. citizen uses for flights last year alone. "

(Sources: Statista and Stern.de)

As if there are no alternatives for getting around. 🤨

This is just about the demonstration of power, that it is justified to pollute the environment because HE is important, he should be allowed to. The mindset! The safety question is constructed nonsense. The safety question of Nostr is relevant, but not in this context.

Aside from the racist lawsuits/convictions and the proven doubts about Tesla's sustainability, this report is also an important reminder for consumers to educate themselves about which company they are investing in or whose products they are buying - or about the person behind it who plays a major role in determining the company's course. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/feb/18/tesla-california-racial-harassment-discrimination-lawsuit
