    This person is compiling public information and posting it with a 24 hour delay. While I understand safety concerns, it is a little different than posting real-time info.

    ALL climate polluters should be held accountable. Exposing their horrible climate crimes isn’t being mean to them lmao.
     
    It’s not about disliking or liking someone’s art or persona, or it shouldn’t be. If Lana was doing this, I would be so deeply upset.

    Any and all flight logs should remain publicly available data and you shouldn’t expect a right to privacy when zooming on ur private jet on the daily 
     
    Private jets should be banned anyway

    I understand this and it’s so creepy and probably so uncomfortable for Taylor and I wouldn’t like it, but at the same time it is public information so like??

    As someone else said, it’s public data…. If a stalker wanted to know that bad they’d just track her themself. She just doesn’t want it publicised

    it's PUBLIC INFORMATION, he's not stalking nor harassing her and he's not doing it only to her. keep tracking!

    MTE. It's hard to see this as a "safety concern" or to even think safety is her main issue with this. The idea that the private jet tracker is causing her "emotional distress" when she's killing the planet to dash between her home, tour and football games is bonkers. She's like the female musical equivalent of Elon Musk, and I'm tired of both of them.
     
    What this person is documenting isn't even illegal, it's all public information that can be easily accessed by anyone who looks for it.

    yeah no i disagree with the privacy sentiment, she has a strong security presence and can certainly afford more. it is publicly available data and it just screams that she is trying to stop the private jet discourse by threatening and being litigious to people she knows cant afford top calibre lawyers.
     
    keep tracking i say

    Honestly... In a way I get why Taylor might feel uncomfortable but at the same time that student isn't killing the planet as well as the ears of millions /hj

    Taylor Swift's attorneys have threatened legal action against a Florida college student who runs social media accounts tracking the flights of her and other celebrities' private jets.
     
    Jack Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida, has for years run accounts that log the takeoffs and landings of planes and helicopters owned by hundreds of billionaires, politicians, Russian oligarchs and other public figures, along with estimates of their planet-warming emissions. The accounts use publicly available data from the Federal Aviation Administration and volunteer hobbyists who can track the aircraft via the signals they broadcast.
     
    In December, Swift's attorney at the Washington law firm Venable wrote Sweeney a cease-and-desist letter saying Swift would "have no choice but to pursue any and all legal remedies" if he did not stop his "stalking and harassing behavior".
     
    Sweeney, 21, told The Post he saw the letter as an attempt to scare him away from sharing public data. The accounts offer only an incomplete sketch of which cities Swift might currently be in, similar to the public schedules for her concerts or any NFL games she might attend, he said. And the letters, he added, were sent to him at a time when she faced criticism over her flights' environmental impact.

    Private-jet flights are criticized for their disproportionately high impact on climate change, and Sweeney's accounts have often been used to name and shame their most famous passengers. In 2022, the accounts were cited in an analysis that estimated "climate terrorist" Taylor Swift was the biggest celebrity [carbon dioxide] polluter of the year. "This information is already out there", he said. "Her team thinks they can control the world".
     
    After receiving the letters, Sweeney said he asked for help from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, which sent his request to a list of attorneys. James Slater, a Florida lawyer who specializes in First Amendment and internet speech issues, responded on Sweeney's behalf to the Venable letter: "This isn't about putting a GPS tracker on someone and invading their privacy. It's using public information to track the jet of a public figure", he said. “This is their means to try to quash a PR issue and bully my client to have the bad coverage die down".

    seeing as how it says "file name: the manuscript" and knowing that that's a deluxe track, i definitely feel there's going to be different variations for other "file names", so that's possible

    I really hope whatever she’s doing to her face is clever makeup/reversible, I’m all for people making their own choices but in a few years the fox eye trend will die out and having big doll eyes with round faces will be back in. (and all those people that got buccal fat removal will be stuck wishing they had their cheeks back. as a woman I’m so fed up of plastic surgery being a ‘trend’)

    She literally redefined an entire genre. She changed the landscape of pop music forever. So many people who won tonight would genuinely not be there without Lana setting the blueprint.

    I know she wanted to be nice about it but that was so hard to watch like I felt in lana's skin and got huge second hand embarassment for her getting dragged up to the stage like that  oh god
    yeah I'm never hyping up for any award show anymore, they don't deserve her and everything is really just a scam, these voters and the academy are fucking ASS

    it's nice that taylor recognized her and shouted her out, BUT SHE WAS STILL COMPLETELY SNUBBED, i hope her label NEVER, EVER entertains the grammys ever again! clearly they don't care about her or her beautiful, DESERVING art, she's worth so much more, nothing that ever wins is that great anyway, it doesn't really mean anything anymore...
