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.
Lots of information is public, such as your address. That doesn’t mean somebody explicitly publishing your address for the purpose of harassing you isn’t committing an offence.
Some celebrities can’t fly on passenger planes for their own safety and even that of others or the proper functioning of infrastructure. Can you imagine Taylor Swift trying to fly on a public carrier? She would get mobbed at the very least. At worst she might be putting her health or even her life in danger. Especially now that the MAGA morons are attacking her.
I find Taylor Swift bland as beige, I don’t get the appeal at all, and I think Musk is a rabid twatwaffle. I also don’t believe anyone should really get to be so wealthy. Still, there are good reasons why one might need to travel by private means without their movements being broadcast.
Bland as beige; as entertaining as watching paint dry; as creative as rocks. All subjectively true, but if per rabid base of zombie fans come through and sink Trump’s election, I will buy one of her CDs and display it, and pretend to have listened to the whole thing.
Note that isn’t the only option. They can charter private planes. Still not publicly trackable as it isn’t public knowledge that a given tail number equals that celebrity.
Still, if it’s about environment, abstracting the flight to an odometer would suffice without stalkery implications. However I presume it’s not hard to get the tail number for a rando, and then they don’t need any help tracking her in particular, public flight tracking resources would do it. So while she might be able to fight a targeted tracker, probably the worst she has to fear would still be able to track her.
If I were anywhere vaguely in those shoes, I’d always use chartered private planes, limo services, etc. I would not move about in easily recognized and tracked personally owned transportation. Of course I’m not and definitely wouldn’t want to be flying much at all, but if I were in a position where I needed to fly, but couldn’t reasonably risk sitting among random folks, then chartering a flight seems a logical strategy.
Why wouldnt celebrities be able to fly on passenger planes?
If there was some security risk to consider, it would still be cheaper by a factor of 100 or more to just buy a business class ticket and buy some tickets for the security guards too. I am sure, there is also options to organize not going through the public check-in of the airport and to be able to board the plane discreetly before the normal boarding.
Also it is very easy to defend someone on a public plane. the aisles don’t allow for more than one attacker at once, and i am sure there is enough tall muscular men for hire to block all aisles.
Several points:

My friend met Hugh Jackman on Eurostar, he seems pretty chill. Didn’t get mobbed at all.
You’re comparing Taylor Swift to Hugh Jackman?
I mean, if I had the choice of meeting one of them, I’d 100% pick Hugh Jackman. By all accounts, the dude is a genuinely cool guy.
How about Keanu? I think he would be cool to meet as well. Would genuinely find it hard to choose between the two (Hugh and Keanu)
True true, I would be way more starstruck meeting Wolverine
I honestly don’t know.
I know Hugh Jackman has been in couple movies couple years ago, and he is also in one of the movies I liked.
I thought Taylor Swift stopped singing after the Romeo Juliet song. I didn’t realize people still cares about her until last year.
To be fair, I couldn’t tell you the difference.
Hugh Jackman has a wider range.
That isn’t fair to Swift.
Some people like a smaller one.

She’s a human being not a god stop treating her like a god.
