Taylor Swift's lawyers have threatened legal action against Jack Sweeney, a Florida college student who tracks the private jets of celebrities and public figures. Sweeney had previously faced backlash from Elon Musk for tracking his jet. Swift's attorney accused Sweeney of causing harm and distress through his social media accounts and demanded that he stop his "stalking and harassing behavior." Sweeney believes the cease-and-desist letter is an attempt to intimidate him and prevent him from sharing publicly available data. Despite the letters, Sweeney continues to share updates on private jets of Swift and other celebrities.
