While Swift’s jet information may be restricted under the FAA’s privacy program, enthusiasts can still share data through independent channels.
Swift’s legal representative, Katie Wright Morrone, argues that Sweeney’s actions jeopardize the safety of Swift and her family.
She emphasizes the detrimental impact of such disclosures on Swift’s mental well-being, citing previous incidents of stalking and harassment.
In response to the ongoing controversy, Swift’s spokesperson, Tree Paine, refrained from commenting on any ongoing police investigation. However, Paine underscored the connection between Sweeney’s posts and the timing of stalking incidents targeting Swift.
While the legality of Sweeney’s activities remains under scrutiny, Paine asserts that publicly available information lacks inherent privacy protections in the United States.
She acknowledges the challenges posed by technological advancements, which facilitate the dissemination of once obscure data to a wider audience.
Swift’s clash with the jet tracker underscores the complexities surrounding celebrity privacy, public information, and the evolving landscape of digital surveillance.
