In a sudden move, Meta has suspended several accounts on Threads and Instagram that tracked the private jets of high-profile individuals, including Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Kim Kardashian, and former US President Donald Trump. The accounts, created by Jack Sweeney, used publicly available data to display the flight paths of private jets.

Sweeney, who gained notoriety for his @ElonJet account, claimed that Meta provided no warning or explanation for the suspensions, which appear to be "blacked out" with no options for interaction or information. However, a Meta spokesperson cited concerns over physical harm to individuals and adherence to the independent Oversight Board's recommendation as the reason for disabling the accounts.

This development comes after Taylor Swift's private jet-tracking account was deactivated earlier this year, following the singer's threats of legal action against Sweeney. The suspensions have sparked debate over privacy, online tracking, and the limits of publicly available data.
