I read a news article the other day about how this dude has coded a bunch of thingies to automatically track different celebrities (particularly those popular in the tech field) by their flight/travel. He makes a Twitter page for each one.
The article was saying that Elon contacted this dude and asked him to take the Twitter page down where he's tracking Elon's private jet, citing it as a security risk.
Here's the account...

It's creepy as heck, in my opinion.
The creator of the bot defends it by saying that all flight info is public.
I don't think that makes it okay though...
Just because info is public doesn't mean it needs to be aggregated.
Let's face it, there is essentially no good reason whatsoever for someone to be looking for that kind of information about specific celebs and public figures.
There's almost NO reason for it that isn't nefarious.
Totally creepy.
