It's more like creepy stalking, voyeurism, and abuse of power.
And, in the case of some celebrities, who as a category have been known to have mentally-ill, homicidal stalkers, it's even more tasteless, IMHO.
In this case.
When one person burns so many tonnes of carbon, because greed and selfishness, this plebeian is interested
The argument that it’s really about CO2 emissions is not persuasive – you could track each billionaire’s total CO2 output without also broadcasting their location in real time.
You can absolutely have a free speech position that supports a broad variety of political speech while disallowing the real time tracking of citizens – I see no hypocrisy there either.
Some people are also saying that he’s a hypocrite for tracking others while not wanting to be tracked himself. If he was broadcasting other people’s real time location while protecting his own, then that would make sense. He’s not doing anything like that, though.
"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
Nah, the rich get away with this more.
Definately a quote to keep in your pocket, though.
They barely care about harassment/stalking on their own platform that is objectively illegal. So i don't feel sympathy here.
>If he was broadcasting other people’s real time location while protecting his own, then that would make sense.
It's a bit frustrating how many people here don't understand the difference of precision in knowing plane data and car/foot data. What use is "Person is in City" to the point where they make an argument of "risk of physical harm?".
