Elon Musk and Taylor Swift can now hide details of their private jets/// Private aircraft owners can now ask the FAA to keep their registration information out of the public eye.
-
Aircraft are sort of expensive and they can cause large scale damage to the public. At a certain point, the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
If they want privacy, they can reregister their planes to an LLC. Having Congress pass this loophole was just Musk's way of flexing his power over the legislative body.

Sounds like carefully worded groundwork for abolishing online anonymity. Computers are cheap and can cause large scale damage to the public.

This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don't care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.

This is a good thing for us normal humans. More privacy is always a good thing. Let it spread further…
I mean do we have any reason to expect it to travel further? The system made a few billionares feel uncomfortable, now they don't feel uncomfortable, the law isn't going to expand.
If a face tracking or car tracking system were to go live. Billionares would find a way to exempt themselves from it, but make sure it was live for everyone else. The reason there aren't exceptions made for this rule, are because there's not a whole lot of poor private plane owners.
This isn't restricted to billionaires. It will benefit others as well.

How would you feel if you had a public gps transponder on your car publicly showing who you, where you are, and where you live?
Buy a new car, you won't be far from that.
The new car is worse. They will sell your info to the highest bidder.

Buy an old car, travel on public roadways

I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.

If you own your own home, anyone can get your full name through property records. Is this really that different?
I was looking up bike lanes in a city I was thinking of buying a house in and the map had property lines on it, with the registered owners names plastered in every space.

Not really. But the FAA could use some improvement on privacy issues.

If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?
Huh... Recent context has really ruined jokes like this...

She may not be as bad but she's still a billionaire who rides her private jet everywhere on a whim contributing more to climate change than thousands of people will in multiple lifetimes and was included in the Panama Papers.

She still has the carbon footprint of a small country.

I hope a traffic controller guides Elon's jet into the tarmac.

And to every other bidder, too, of course.

the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
Why? This "right to know" is pitchfork mentality, really. If something happens the authorities can handle it and only they should have that kind of access, not John Doe. Not all who own planes are millionaires (those probably do register to an LLC).
And you could probably get it with a subpeona or FOIA request if you really need it. This just stops random people from snooping.

TBH we've been able to keep website registration info private for years, and privacy is such a big thing now, sure why not.
Precisely.
I'm no fan of random billionaires, but I'm a huge fan of privacy.

No. Ethical. Billionaires.
Every day she wakes up and chooses not to solve homelessness in Tennessee.

can you explain where I'm missing here? unless I'm majorly missing something, is there a benefit for people who don't own, or regularly travel in private planes?
