Especially now with newspapers reporting that Taylor Swift is seen as a 'danger to Republican norms' (per USA TODAY copy, Feb 2 - 4), this is an especially dangerous position to put her in. Republicans are starting to claim she is swaying the country away from their "values" (whatever those might be) and they are looking at her as an enemy of our country.
So the person doing this might have innocent motives, but it could lead to horribly disastrous results, and he could also be jailed for doing this. So I'm glad she's taking some legal action up front if only to protect herself and show that she is unwilling to be made a victim of other people's nutjob bigotry.
My fucking ass lmao. It's public information being posted on a public forum with no call to action whatsoever.
It seems your anger is at about 8/10 but I won't accept that you're right until you dial it out 10. Can you crank up your impotent, ignorant rage a bit more and then comment? You can do it, I believe in you.
Wow, seems you're wrong about all kinds of stuff. Elon jet tracker for reference.
Dude made, essentially, a data visualization tool.
No more and no less.
If you want the data to be private, go after that. Stand up in front of us all, and argue "private jets deserve the privacy of any one of us"
Taylor Swift is a public figure that lives like royalty. At the level, I don't think she gets to live normally. This isn't even her - this is her publicist and/or lawyers, maybe responding to discomfort she's personally expressed... I doubt she goes anywhere without bodyguards. I doubt she's in real danger comparable to even most US politicians - the beetles were small time by her standards. She's a corporation - she's just the face of something enormous

Her planes transponder is public information.
So is my phone number and address but if you plaster it all over the internet I can sue you for harassment.
This is less a defense of Swift and more a critique of your logic here.
No that's not equivalent.
You said that because it is public information it is OK. You need to introduce more nuance than that if you have a point. But your bar is incredibly low and that’s the issue. I don’t know what else to tell you. You need more than “it’s public info.”
Unlike most Internet-brained people I don't tread on subjects I don't know enough about. All I know is the information is public. If I start giving examples from a country I'm not a citizen of you'll pull some arse-about-face "amendment" from some bum-fuck section of your constitution I was totally unaware of.
If this was the UK I'd continue with reckless abandon, but alas, it's the US.
So I say to you: The information is public and that's the end of it!
Billionaire defenders going to sue the yellow pages.
We may have reached peak Taylor now that she is making a show of dating that football player. She intrigued me for a while but now I mostly cringe.
Yeah I don't really know anything about her except her music isn't really my thing. I recently gave it another shot but every song felt kinda ragey and judgey in an unexpected way. It falls in this "quite literal but somehow unclear and never abstract" style of songwriting that to me is.. yeah, cringey.
Her music never did much for me but that's fine, that's just me. But I heard she was supposed to be a good lyricist. It seemed to me she had some sharp lines here and there, with filler in between. I was more interested in her persona and how she hit back against the record labels and movie studios. She did a good job of that.
Yeah. Re-recording her album after the record label fucked her over was a genius and commendable move
