I hate to put it this way, but most flights are commercial passenger or freight. Only a small amount are private jets, so this really only affects a small number of people.

Do you think Mark Zuckerberg would argue in favour of greater privacy for you?

I think the effort of making flight data private (and all of the solutions we'd need to find for very important transponder/communications technology) is better spent on other privacy issues first.

The flying or the tracking?

I think we’d have trouble banning it outright, but we could maybe give everyone a set amount of carbon credits per life (or maybe doled out on a yearly basis), and then the rich would at least have to buy pollution capacity from the poor? They are ruining everybody’s planet after all, not just their own.
