one thing is broadcasting personal information about a citizen, one is protecting a citizens right to object to actions by their government.
collecting public information is still doxxing. most doxxing involves only public information as it happens across the internet.

Besides that, someone has pointed out to me that your username is trollish (yes, I'm slow sometimes). We don't allow that - see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... Between that and your comments that have been breaking the rules, that's too much. I've therefore banned the account.
If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
Publicly available location of Musk's private plane? Serious threat to human safety.
The idea that posting publicly available information to Twitter transforms it is silly.
Whether you are finding someone's email, or real name, or jet location, or home address, and then announce it, you are doxxing them.
We used to have a thing called the phone book that put everyone's name, phone number, and address together in a book and sent it out. None of those is a piece of private information.
It is just an automobile after all, and vehicles aren't citizens...
Cue fallback argument.
