The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.

ADS-B is public broadcast though… if you’re in range of the plane, you can pick up its air traffic control data (elevation, speed, heading, registration, etc)… services like flight radar 24 don’t work on FAA data: they are a huge network of regular people across the globe with ADS-B receivers contributing everything they see

The rules will really change when the first billionaire on a private jet gets taken out by a DIY suicide drone.

I thought they just slightly obfuscated it, but bc the importance of tail numbers for safety, they can't do so completely. I'd love a complete explanation from someone knowledgeable.
