Jack Sweeney Faces Legal Threats for Tracking Celebrity Jets

The student's tracking of private jets, including Taylor Swift's, has sparked controversy over privacy and public information.

Jack Sweeney, a university student, uses public data to track the private jets of celebrities, sparking legal threats from Taylor Swift and attention from Elon Musk.
Taylor Swift's lawyers argue that Sweeney's tracking endangers her by potentially tipping off stalkers, while Sweeney defends the public's right to information.
Sweeney's interest in aviation and technology led him to create TheAirTraffic.com, a site that tracks celebrity aircraft using signals from planes.
The debate highlights the tension between privacy concerns and the public's interest in transparency and environmental impact of private jet usage.
Sweeney suggests privacy-conscious celebrities could use anonymous registration for their jets, amidst ongoing legal and social media challenges.
