Meta has suspended dozens of accounts on Instagram and Threads that tracked the private jets of celebrities, citing privacy violations and the risk of physical harm as reasons for the ban. These accounts, managed by college student Jack Sweeney, used publicly available flight data to monitor jets owned by figures like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Taylor Swift. Sweeney, who previously faced similar actions from Twitter (now X), criticized Meta for a lack of transparency and arbitrary enforcement of rules. Legal threats have been made by celebrities, including Swift, who described Sweeney's actions as 'stalking and harassing behavior.' Despite a U.S. law allowing private aircraft registration data to be anonymized, Sweeney continues to track flights through tips and other data sources. Meta's actions align with recommendations from its independent Oversight Board, emphasizing user safety.
