Accounts on Instagram and Threads tracking the private jets of celebrities, including Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Kylie Jenner, were suspended on Monday, according to the owner of many such accounts, a Florida college student, Jack Sweeney. Meta tells TechCrunch that the accounts violated its privacy policy, citing a "risk of physical harm" against the individuals.

Links to Instagram/Threads accounts tracking the flights of former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and other celebrity accounts, produced an error message Monday night reading, "The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed." Sweeney's account tracking Taylor Swift's jet was disabled Friday.

Given the potential for physical harm, and based on the recommendation by the independent Oversight Board, we've suspended these accounts for violating our privacy policy," said Meta spokesperson, in an emailed statement to TechCrunch.

Today feels like December 15th 2022, Sweeney posted from his personal account, referencing the time Elon Musk permanently suspended his @ElonJet account from Twitter.

It was through Sweeney's tracking work that, in May, U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a bill that allows owners of private aircraft to anonymize their registration information. Still, Sweeney says it is easy to track even high-profile individuals, including by tips from other flight-tracking enthusiasts.
