    I could be wrong, but the reason I’m annoyed with her specifically isn’t because of the use of private planes (I am annoyed by it, but that isn’t specific to her). I’m annoyed with her legally harassing the person that made a bot that used publicly available data to track her plane(s).

    That’s why I am specifically amused by these posts, not sure if it’s the same for everyone.

      That tracks. Celebrity stuff usually annoys me, so I avoid news about it. There’s just been too many Swift Plane jokes to ignore lately.

      I mean… tbh I wouldn’t like somebody to track all my movements with my car and make them public to all to see.

      I mean technically they are already tracked in my case at minimum by Google explicitly by me in my case as I share my location and I have tracking enabled, but they don’t share directly with all people to see, so Tom that doesn’t like me can go and cut my tires. There might be a security flaw some day…and Tom might get access but I’m my case I will risk it.

        Yes, but in your example your location is not posted to publicly available records. If she doesn’t like that an air planes flight records are publicly available for anyone to look up, she should contact her representative, or otherwise campaign to have the law changed, not harass someone who is basically just copying and pasting information from one public database no one is on to a public space everyone is on.

        Beyond that I would also add my opinion that for the average person hiring extra security or taking extra precautions is an undo burden. For someone who is worth more than I will make in 250 lifetimes I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that is one of the costs of the path that she has chosen to travel.

        But you’re also not obscenely wealthy because of being a public figure, kinda different rules, no?
