Curious what right to privacy law she will have her attorney use. I would think that flight plans mandatory are not privileged maybe I'm wrong. I remember learning long time ago that trash can you set outside for pickup = fair game for any cop to search through no warrant needed because you set your shit out in public. So, why would this kid looking up and posting her flight plans be any different? Or is the kid somehow threatening her trying to extort some money?

It's the same thing as the Musk flight logs... she has no case to stand on, it's public information.

It is, but if it's used for stalking, there are laws against that in every state. It's normally a felony with several years jail time and/or a fine of $10k+.

The announcement of the "threat" to her cult is the punishment.

Until the far right began attacks on her, no one cared about her fans (as we don't care about other fans of other pop singers), no one called them a cult, and no one should be taking this much interest in pop singers. It's stupid.

There you go, blaming the victim with your favorite slurs.

The stalker - posting her flights on social media - is a victim?

(The level of cognitive dissonance necessary for your argument is reminiscent of the authistic spectum mental gymnastics of MAGAtards.)

Stalker is a slur. Vocal (though vocal is voice and English is yet to have an accurate word for online written public declaration) observer is more accurate. MAGAtards is another slur. Do you always rely on slurs to fuel your social powerplays? Interesting pattern. Are you a "Slurtard"?

Very funny.

Everyone has a right to avoid 'being followed' by "people". (Though corporations follow everyone, and shouldn't be allowed to.)
