Did the U.S. Air Force Disable Flight Tracking Transponders Across Most Aircraft?

After the U.S. arrested the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, social media users have been circulating a photo showing one of the most popular flight tracker websites, including Flightradar24, claiming that the U.S. air force has disabled virtually all flight tracking transponders. 

An account named “Disclose.tv” posted the photo and commented, “JUST IN - The entire U.S. air force has disabled virtually all flight tracking transponders—FlightRadar24.”
