https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/06/taylor-swift-jet-tracking-legal-threat/ Jack Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida, has for years run accounts that log the takeoffs and landings of planes and helicopters owned by hundreds of billionaires, politicians, Russian oligarchs and other public figures, along with estimates of their planet-warming emissions.
