Taylor Swift shuts up the student who tracked her plane data – previously sued by Elon Musk

Taylor Swift shuts up the student who tracked her plane data - previously sued by Elon Musk

Jack Sweeney, who angered celebrities and billionaires by creating accounts that tracked their private flights, could face another lawsuit.

According to The Washington Post, Taylor Swift’s lawyers sent a letter to the student in December threatening a lawsuit and demanding that he stop posting social media posts about the singer’s flights. The statement said such actions cause “direct and irreparable harm, as well as emotional and physical suffering.”

“I think it’s important to note that I mean no harm. I really think Swift has some good songs. And I believe in transparency and public information,” Sweeney said in a comment to The Verge.

In fact, the accounts are posting information that is already publicly available — through the Federal Aviation Administration and signals broadcast by private jets. In fact, Sweeney only made it easier to access them by creating separate social media accounts.

In addition to taking off and landing data for private jets, Sweeney estimates and publishes how much fuel they use and how much greenhouse gas they emit. Last year, Taylor Swift topped the list of celebrities with the highest CO2 emissions from private jets.

“The Taylor plane is regularly loaned to other people. It is clearly incorrect to attribute most or all of these flights to her,” the singer’s representatives replied at the time.

Sweeney, meanwhile, says the Swift team’s claims contradict each other and are “very reminiscent” of Elon Musk’s December 2022 lawsuit. The guy switched from Twitter to Threads after the billionaire banned him from the platform and accused him of posting “coordinates for murder.” In late 2022, Sweeney returned to X with an account sharing data about Musk’s private jet, but with a 24-hour delay.
