A student who tracks the private jets of celebrities says Taylor Swift’s lawyers have threatened to sue him for sharing her flight information online.
Jack Sweeney uses publicly available data to track the take-offs and landings of planes belonging to the wealthy and posts them one day later.
Swift’s lawyers claim that the tracking amounts to “stalking”.
In 2022, Twitter banned Sweeney after Elon Musk accused him of sharing his “assassination coordinates”.
Swift’s lawyers have issued a cease-and-desist letter to Sweeney, a 21-year-old student at the University of Central Florida, demanding that he stop sharing the location of her private jet.
The letter, issued in December, says that the information poses “an imminent threat to the safety and wellbeing” of Swift, calling it a “life-or-death matter” for her.
It cites numerous stalkers she has dealt with in her career, and says the data gives criminals “a roadmap to carry out their plans”.
