Flight information is public. Sorry you don't like that, but suing this student won't change the availability of that information, and anyone could take their place in running a bot.
true, but for a layperson it requires a lot more effort and knowledge to find that information manually over visiting a single twitter profile. and if one bot creator is successfully sued it could discourage future attempts
I'm really confused why you got downvoted so heavily. If I'm reading your comment correctly you were just trying to point out the utility (to a wealthy asshole) of suing a bot creator. Rich people use lawsuits to silence their critics there's even a specific protection in California against that type of lawsuit.
that was indeed my main point! i think others wrongly assumed i supported the legal action
