Share on Facebook Meta Claims Privacy Violations on Jet Tracker Accounts
It was later confirmed by Meta in a statement to TechCrunch that it took action against Sweeney's jet tracker accounts on their Instagram and Threads social networks, saying that these violated its privacy policies. They also revealed that these accounts present "physical harm" to individuals whose jets are being tracked by Sweeney, also following the Oversight Board's recommendation.
The Infamous Jack Sweeney
One of the internet's unsung heroes is none other than the college student from Florida, Jack Sweeney, who has made it his focus in life to track celebrity private jets whenever they travel from one place to another, with real-time updates on social media. However, Elon Musk is not a big fan of his despite promoting 'free speech' for all, and in December 2022, the then-Twitter took down his 'ElonJet' account.
However, Sweeney did not entirely focus on celebrities in terms of tracking their private jets, as he also included politicians from different nations, each having their dedicated X account for tracking purposes. He revealed that this was previously suggested by a fan to which he happily obliged, tracking the likes of Russia's Vladimir Potanin, Oleg Deripaska, Mikhail Prokhorov, and more, but not its president.
Sweeney has also seen his fair share of legal troubles with regard to celebrity jet tracking, and one iconic court battle was with multi-Grammy award-winning pop star, Taylor Swift, earlier this year. After the ElonJet fiasco, Sweeney took his campaign to the newly-established Threads where he gained significant popularity in his jet tracker accounts, but his reign is now slowly coming to a weird end, as Meta blocks most of his celebrity jet tracking accounts.
