As it will be remembered, the new head of Twitter had blocked the account, accusing the bot developer of posing a threat to his personal security. Immediately a new ban appeared on the social network, which does not allow real-time publication of information about a person’s location.

Jack Sweeney, who manages the ElonJet bot, now to avoid violating Twitter’s new rules It will release data on Musk’s plane with a 24-hour delay. The billionaire previously stated that such posts would not be considered a violation:

“Any account that shares someone’s real-time location information will be suspended for violating physical security. This includes linking to sites with real-time location information. Posting information about your location a little late is not a security issue, so it’s a security breach. not.”

Sweeney says he will publish it manually for now, while he works on the infrastructure to fully automate the account.

It is interesting that the information it publishes is open and is located on a special website that shows all the flights on the planet. Most commercial and private aircraft are equipped with automatic surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) technology that transmits a unique code (linked to the aircraft’s serial number) containing information such as altitude and position. This data is publicly available and aircraft flying in the US and Europe are required to publish it to avoid mid-air collisions. So anyone who doesn’t have this bot can go in and see where Elon Musk’s jet is right now. But the company’s president still sees Sweeney’s work as a threat.

There has been no response from Elon Musk about the new ElonJet account so far.
