You're asking why a callsign shows up as "blocked"? That means the pilot did not specify a callsign when setting up the transponder. Sometimes it's spoopy and sometimes just pilot error. We have also seen rescue choppers that block the callsign for reasons of patient privacy, And choppers that present as fixed wing. Blocked callsigns do not get my attention but some planefags think it's important. You be the judge.
Everytime there's a Q&A I ask Q if there's any way that we will get our privacy back. No reply so far. I'm asking about both technological means and social changes.
Sad.
That's my point exactly. I don't see technology reverting or being discarded. It NEVER happens. But privacy is a basic human right, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", right? I just want to keep bringing attention to this until the issue is at least acknowledged.
Back in my days as a technologyfag we would look for technological solutions to problems. New kinds of encryption, etc. Vault7 hadn't been published then and our attempts were relatively naive.
So if we had a society of perfect, sinless, Godly, righteous people, the lack of privacy wouldn't matter that much? It's a serious question. I really do not see any other possibility in the privacy realm.
