Meta Suspends Accounts Tracking Celebrity Private Jets

The decision, citing privacy concerns, affects accounts monitoring flights of figures like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Taylor Swift.

Meta's suspension follows a recommendation from its Oversight Board to address privacy risks associated with sharing real-time location data.
The accounts, operated by college student Jack Sweeney, used public flight data to track the private jets of various high-profile individuals.
Sweeney's accounts had previously faced similar bans on X, formerly known as Twitter, after Elon Musk acquired the platform.
Celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Elon Musk have expressed safety concerns, with Swift's team labeling the tracking as 'stalking and harassing behavior.'
Meta's actions have sparked debate over the balance between privacy rights and the public's access to information.
