I don't think any of us would dispute the benefits of ADS-B. It was implemented as a safety item for traffic separation .....which could have been accomplished without the
owners/pilots information broadcast. Why do you suppose they included that requirement? Certainly not for safety reasons. Why then?
Would you please explain what you mean by "owners/pilots information broadcast", preferably with reference to the pertinent regulation(s).
Complete aircraft information is programed into the unit after installation, including ICAO address and N number. These identify the owner. Web
That is the only area flagged. Question is, do I need to fix anything?
That is very different from "owners/pilots information broadcast".
It's possible to trace to the aircraft owner, even for a UAT in anonymous mode, from the ICAO address but the owner information is not broadcast. Also, no information on the pilot is broadcast although it possible to trace to that if a flight plan was filed.
Please let's keep the information accurate and not give ADS-B Out attributes that it does not actually have.
The ICAO address and N number can lead to the owners info with a simple online search. How is that not broadcasting owner info?

The "B" in ADS-B stands for "Broadcast". An ADS-B Out system will transmit or broadcast multiple parameters. These broadcast parameters do not include owner or pilot information.

You are correct in that this inconsistency cannot be blamed on ADS-B. However, it is enhanced by the use of ADS-B out. In an era of diminishing recreational aviation the uninformed opposition does not need nor deserve any more ammunition in their quivers.There is no public access to car registration information. There is public access to aircraft registration information. This inconsistency cannot be blamed on ADS-B.

Possible thread drift: since installation of uAvionix TSO Skybeacon my reports have all been red flagged for Mode 3A "Other checks". All flights were squawking 1200 and no flight plan was filed. See below:
