Attorneys for Taylor Swift are threatening legal action against the Florida college student who tracks the private jets of celebrities and public figures, including Swift.
Only half the country is inundated and riled up to see her as an Enemy of the State and an Enemy of the people. There must be many thousands now who want to see her raped, tortured and killed. She’s been vilified. And she’s not really a political figure unlike Musk who controls a significant part of the worlds communication medium and is politically active.
Taylor Swift has enough money to protect herself, but imagine someone less wealthy would be similarly tracked and/or vilified.
I’m sympathetic to the perspective, but actually no, someone less wealthy couldn’t be similarly tracked. To be tracked in this specific way, you must have exclusive ownership of plane(s) with tail numbers.
If you fly commercial and don’t publish your itenirary publicly, then the public won’t know your association with the flight. If you charter a private flight, then again no one knows that chartered plane == you. You have to actually own a dedicated private plane for anyone to use these resources to confidently track you in particular.
So I’m broadly sympathetic to the plight of celebrities with respect to paparazzi and stalkers and such. But with the availability of charter flights, hard for me to be too sympathetic of someone afflicted by private plane tracking.

Nobody should own a private jet. If you have one, it gets tracked.
Nobody should own a car. If you have one, you get put on a list and hunted down! :D
Nobody should be forced to need a car.
Ironically based
False equivalence.
They’re not tracking her you barely sentient punching bag, they are tracking the plane which is kind of necessary for safety.

Just a small clarification: the GOP does not have half of the country. Not even half of the voting population.
