    Did he get removed from https://www.adsbexchange.com/ ? Pretty sure that's a site that uses data from people freely sharing their ads-b data. But I guess flightaware is similar but they're a company so I guess worried about liability.

    It's just that this blocking tool is a voluntary thing. Anyone who's collecting their own data (like www.adsbexchange.com) can just tell Elon to buzz off, then publish it anyways.

    It appears to me she doesn't actually own a plane these days and charters various private flights instead. If she flew in a plane she owned, it would be trivial to track using data from an exchange like https://www.adsbexchange.com/ or https://opensky-network.org/

    Not only are their sites like ADS-B Exchange that show planes all over the world, but if you have a decent antenna and some free software you can personally track planes in your local area!
