    true, but for a layperson it requires a lot more effort and knowledge to find that information manually over visiting a single twitter profile. and if one bot creator is successfully sued it could discourage future attempts

        It’s not feasible for possibly the worlds biggest artist right now to ride coach… She would take up the entire flight regardless with entourage and gear.

        And that’s just ignoring the security aspect

          I …don’t care?

          Troubleshooting billionaires’ problems is super low in my list of priorities.

      They won’t be, because Elon failed at this already. Use of public information isn’t illegal. Aggregating and sharing that public information elsewhere or in a different format isn’t illegal (and is likely protected speech).

      If she’s experienced some kind of harm, it’s not because the bot exists, it’s because the public information exists.

      (Also, it’s absurdly easy to track a plane. Search for “live flight tracker” on your favorite search engine, and take your pick.)
