I require some context to fully understand what's going on here.
I imagine "blocked" means that the flights in question are not displayed? Despite a user presumably uploading the metadata for the flight in question as part of their feed?
And thus, can't someone still see these flights with their directly-connected SDR device?
And thus, can't someone just start a new FR24 service that doesn't censor these data?
> There is a discussion on FAA meetings about encrypting the ADS-B signal. By angering the authorities, we will only speed up this process.
Holy hell, for real? At this point, there are vanishingly few laws with which I agree even in principle, but "if you are going to fly a 375-ton hunk of metal through the air, you need to clearly broadcast flight details in plain text" is a pretty damn reasonable one.
What possible justification can there be for targeting services like FR24?
