  • While this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back

    I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.

    Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn’t accessible to you, then it’s not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at

    Although I’m not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds
