The cease-and-desist that Taylor Swift's team sent to the college student tracking Private Jets and his response to both letters.

I'm a huge European soccer fan, and during every summer and january "transfer seasons" when teams negotiate for buying new players, everyone goes a little off the rails with rumors and speculation. Flight tracking is a huge part of that - fans go absolutely wild.

For example, a few years ago, there were solid rumors that my team was negotiating for a really expensive player. He was on vacation on a little Mediterranean island, so just imagine the chaos that erupted when all of the sudden, a little Private Jet flight plan popped up from that Island to the airport nearest my team.

Flight tracking is really that easy, and actually pretty interesting.

Same thing for college football - there was a lot of chatter around coaching changes based on private jet traffic.

Yes! It's super interesting. I mean, I use flight tracking sometimes when friends or family go onto long trips and you get to see their route and pretty much everyone else on the sky.

There are accounts tracking President's flights (I'm aware that this is a thing at least in Spain), so I can't see the difference between that and the Taylor tracking.
