𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

[Barry McKockner]

It's the whole "what is doxing" question and nobody really wants to dig deep into it.

Some things are obviously public information and somethings are "quasipublic but not really".

Most everyone even on the notorious doxing website Kiwifarms would agree that hiring goons to literally follow someone around is a bit over the top (and AOC would screetch and die if someone started posting her location)

Musk would have been much more amusing if he just outright admitted he bans whomever he wants whenever he wants lol though that may threaten section 230 protections



There can be all sorts of things that aren't technically illegal but do circumvent protection mechanisms in place. Unless there's a specific federal law that you can't try to determine what PIA things might apply to, you probably are LEGALLY fine even if some people would consider it skeevy.

The question of what is doxing is not even a question. IT HAS LITERALLY ALWAYS BEEN releasing the personal details of people online, anonymous or not.

The only time you have a dillema is when you want to try mental gymnastics to say it's ok for some and not for others, which is what's tripping up people on Twitter right now. They want to say posting private jet information and locations is public information, but recoil when you point out their home addresses are easier to find and post.

What's with all the "Elon is a hypocrite, this isn't free speech" seething?

I'm not seething about it, I knew it already. I actually just flat-out don't care about anything that happens on Twitter. Musk being a hypocrite and kind of a kook is par for the course and all the fallout of that is happening to people who deserve to be under his thumb. He isn't even being nearly as vicious as he could be, so whining about a week ban for doing what anyone else on the platform would get banned for is delicious.

I love seeing these precious princesses being told they ain't shit, and their yowling about how they no longer have their secret backchannels (because those trannies got fired) is the cherry on top.

Appears Sweeney may not have been using public data, but rather trying to get around a method of privatizing the plane tracking ID.

Plane Sperg(2):
How it all works:

These days aircraft are required to broadcast 2 things, a hex code 0xDEADBE and a Flight ID: "N12345" or "AA997".

For non-rich people. The hex code transmitted is exactly the same as the tail number of the plane with some encoding( 0xDEADBE might be N12345) this algorithm is 100% public and the code is generally only able to be changed by mechanics/technicians when the plane is not flying. The flight ID is either the tail number or a company call sign for the flight(American Airlines 997) and can be changed by the pilot at any time.

For the rich, they can subscribe to private addressing. They can get a hex code every month which is not directly linkable to their tail number. The FAA provides the mapping and the aircraft operator updates the system on the plane. The FAA still knows who you are but you can't just look it up any more. The second part is that you're required to always use a company style callsign. If you're not part of a company(NetJets, etc) you can use one from a company like FltPlan.com, now Garmin, who issues Dot Com(DCMxxx) callsigns this way your Flight ID never needs to be your tail number.

There is no security though and unless you hack the FAA there's nothing illegal about figuring out what plane is using which hex code. There's a number of ways to do it. One would be accidentally using your actual tail number as a flight ID. One would be an algorithm that sees a plane they know is N12345 by hex code land someplace and a plane with a new unknown hex code take off. Another would be just planespotters, photographers who take pictures of planes. You see on the Internet a photo of N12345 took off at 2:45 PM from airport Z and you check ADS-B records and see the new hex code for N12345. Another still would be matching up flight patterns. If N12345 usually goes from City A to City B at speed X and altitude Y then a new hex code shows up doing the same thing it's probably still the same plane. The most esoteric method, which I don't think is being used, is transmitter fingerprinting. Every transmitter has a 'signature' since they're ultimately analog devices, with enough processing you can uniquely identify transmitters no matter what data they're transmitting. Of course this is easy to fool as every time you change the hex code you could just change the transmitter out for another one off the shelf. Then further you could get into things like audio processing the voice transmissions and hearing "Dot Com 123" and comparing it to other voice samples and seeing that pilot usually flies N12345.

Ok, that got a bit long. Anyway, not illegal, still using public data if they're not actually hacking the FAA.

Olbermann was going off the rails.

Olbermann has made a career of going off the rails to the point he's a known mental case even on his own side and manages to get fired within months by anyone silly enough to hire him.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

Let it be clear. Elon Musk is a nigger, but he's an amusing nigger. He ain't OUR nigger but he's causing pain to the people who are definitely anti-our niggers.

The enemy of my enemy is convenient and funny

And olberman is so far off the rails he's not even on dry land anymore

Ok, that got a bit long. Anyway, not illegal, still using public data if they're not actually hacking the FAA.

Note that a some of this can be easily "defeated" if you bother, but at varying costs. One is to not have a private jet and instead contract to a private jet company (https://www.netjets.com/en-us/ or the like) - deductions can still be made but it's much harder to track exactly who is on what flight, especially if you fly out of airports that are very active with private jets. You'd still get the "oh a private jet went to an airport near a SpaceX facitily, eelon may have been on it" kind of thing, but burbank to washington dc wouldn't even be a blip.

You can go big money and get multiple jets and not use just one, you can have the dead-head around (or rent them out when not using them, there are companies for this), etc, etc.

You can only takeoff at night where it's harder for planespotters to see you.

You can stop flying around like a faggot.

The only rails he's on are rails of meth.

Thank God for the army of magnificent autists who do this. They sure beat the hell out of train foamers in terms of usefulness.

Either it's legal to put "public trackers" on people, thus effectively normalizing the doxing of "public figures" (like "journalists"), or it's not, and Elon Musk was 100% in the right to ban the ElonJet account and all the journos that promoted it.

He has every right to set neutral rules on his platform and then apply them to everyone whether or not journoscum think they have some kind of magical immunity from all rules granted to them by the magic of Karen.

The fact that there’s the possibility of minors lurking here is one of the many reasons Josh banned porn here, funny enough.

Twitter would also lose all the coombrained degenerates if Elon banned porn, which is always a good thing. Either that or Elon should make the minimum join age be 18 instead of 13.

Literally all Nool asks is if you're going to be posting nsfw content use a spoiler tag. That's not a hard rule to follow. As long as you use a spoiler you can post Pokemain's hairy butthole all you fucking want.

repeatedly posting pokemain's butthole or pokemon butthole will likely out you as a cow resulting in a thread, however.

Well yea, it's happened before and they deserved it. Pokemaine looks like a fruit bat.

No one cares that an irrelevant social media shithole has been banned from twatter for doxing Elon

And it isn't named kiwi farms dot net

No one will care in a week that Elon gave a timeout to a bunch of supercilious faggots either, except those who appreciate that everyone is now equal under twat law

What will be the next thing that definitely means Elon is DONE FOR REALSIES NOW he FUCKED UP SO BIG TIME? We're on thing number four and Elon is still smoking DMT with Joe Rogan and trollololing, creating lulz for my entertainment. And that is all that matters

For porn of actual e-thots they have to get put in private tags, but that's more because of search engine issues and to avoid DMCA complaints.

Aside from that I have no idea where anyone would've gotten the idea that porn is banned, it just has to be up there for some good reason besides coomerism. There are threads like the Derich thread in the DSP subforum that are filled with very distracting amounts of porn.

Well clearly it isn't that irrelevant if they're bothering to ban any links to the site.

Is the based facade already beginning to fade?

People are mad salty that Elon took away their loli and pedo-nuggets.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
Post hairy butthole pics, expect lots of "Hey, you're the degenerate who posts hairy butthole pictures."

"I can't see past the biggest number" is how for many people unfortunately.

"Biggest number wins" is how multiple choice voting works. The choice with the most individual votes wins, the others with less votes lose. It doesn't take a civics class to understand this.
Elon only giving two choices makes it simpler since whichever option surpasses 50% of the vote wins.

It's nice that Twitter may be getting cleaned up of the journo pestilence that's plagued it for a long time. I wonder if this'll have a similar effect to 8chan's /pol/ board. You had some more radical nutjobbery migrate to there and without the presence of normal people to call them out on their nonsense it seemed like they got more insane as time went on.

The only ones I can imagine going over to Mastodon to keep seeing the insightful comments of Taylor Lorenz are the most insane of libs, so could imagine those journos getting even worse than they already are.
