I’m a huge swiftie. That’s not a lie. However Taylor’s number one issue in my book is her absolute non-caring for the damage she’s done to the planet.
This isn’t a coincidence. It’s not about stalking. Last week she was caught taking a 40 minute flight, releasing more carbon by herself then most of us do in an entire year.
I love Taylor, but it’s shameful that she continues to do this. When she dated Joe the tracker showed she flew back and forth between England and New York on average 3 times a week. A week.
And she doesn’t even bother to at least buy offsets or something. She could buy massive swaths of rainforest to preserve to make up for it and it’d barely make a dent. She could replant entire forests.
I love Taylor, but I’m ashamed she’s hurting the planet so much without seemingly a care - and now trying to sue the people who expose her for it.
Taylor Swift billionaire villain arc.
I got odds on a trump endorsement before November
Ugh, trying to criminalize the aggregation of public information … makes me queasy.
It’s always fine, a ‘cost of freedom’ kind of thing, until it infringes upon the rich and powerful.
On what grounds? It’s public information.
It’s not like he’s posting private info, or modifying it to defame TS.
When you find yourself on the same side of an argument as Elon…you fucked up.
Fuck I think we should swap to EVs and focus on space travel have I fucked up too
According to this, she is using carbon offsets - though I have no idea what percent of her footprint is being offset: https://carboncredits.com/taylor-swift-controversy-ahead-of-super-bowl-lviii/
Edit: this is moreso in response to the environmental concerns, it’s still silly she’s trying to sue someone aggregating public data. I really hope the court throws this out.
I have yet to find a legitimate case of carbon offsets. You can’t just plant trees. You have to bury trees and then replant them while taking into account the fuel you’re using to do so.
Carbon offsets are often not even that much. Companies will pay other companies just not to bulldoze that forest or burn that oil.
But then the companies just do it anyway. So essentially, it’s just shifting money to make no difference.
If it’s public information, she can go suck a fuck.
If it’s anything like the guy tracking Elon, or at least the same way, the info is “public” but it’s not as simple as hey this is her jet.
The info is heavily obfuscated and it took the guy having some deep understanding of how it all works to figure out how to properly determine how to track them.
But technically yes, it’s public.
Edit: it might be a close comparison to a bitcoin address. It’s public, and it can be worked out. But in this case she can’t just easily buy a 2nd jet. And if she does, they’ll figure it out again as info leaks about her travels.
He could have easily made a logger to grab all of the flights at any local airport for a couple of days when she was on tour in the area. After several stops on her tour, he would have enough data to look for which flight/s were at all of the stops on her tour, then he could just factor in the timing of each to find her jet.
The Elon jet guy explained it once during the whole Elon confrontation and it was much more complicated than just that.
If you own a home, in most states, I can find you. Is it wrong for somebody to dox that info?
Would you be upset if I set up an account on twitter saying when you’re home and when you’re not?
We can go a step further, what if I followed you around through the day posting your exact location?
Where is the line drawn when megaphoning public info is too much?
Where is the line drawn when megaphoning public info is too much?
Not on private jets, the locations of which are public. You can keep asking the rest of the questions. The legal answers to which will vary by jurisdiction. But non-military air travel is public information at the aircraft level and nothing you said behind to make the case for changing that.
You totally sidestepped what I asked.
Just because it’s public info, should it be amplified for easy access for all to see?
If you had a stalker, would you want me to tell them when you’re in town and likely at home?
She could just not use a private jet, problem solved.
Living in a house is not the same as being an environmental terrorist.
I thought privacy was paramount?
Do you surrender that just because you’re successful? Sorry, I thought we fought for rights for all, not just the majority, did I miss the memo?
When I heard TS was taking a page from Barbara Streisand’s book, this is far from what I imagined.
uh oh I think she’s about to buy twitter
Maybe she’ll name it “S”
I have absolutely no problem with this guy posting this information about Tay Tay or anyone else for that matter. Having said that there is a pretty good chance Taylor herself knows fuckall about this even happening: her entourage is almost certainly the driving force behind this. I would certainly like to think if she were actually aware of the details behind what he’s doing/what her lawyers are doing she wouldn’t be coming down on him but who knows?
But that means she also has the power to stop it, and she isn’t.
Sure if she knows about it, so let’s hope A, this blows up enough for someone to ask her about it in an interview, and B she actually gives a shit to do something. I won’t hold my breath.
It’s always so weird to me when swifties have to say “I love Taylor, but…” Like “I love Taylor, but she raped my dog!” “I love Taylor, but she killed my parents!”
At what fucking point do you stop loving her? She doesn’t love you. She’d feed you to her private jet to keep it running.
I never got the obsession with celebrities. How can you care so much for someone that doesn’t even know you exist.
I think it has morphed over time, in America at least. We used to be obsessed with politicians in our infancy, it’s said that Thomas Edison’s face was printed onto a blank envelope with no other information on it, left with a mail deliverer, and was successfully delivered to Edison himself some time later. Talk about brand recognition.
“killed my parents” and “raped my dog” are obvious hyperbole, which means you failed to come up with even one (1) other problem besides the private jet.
Yeah the private jet thing sucks shit, but over the top nonsense in the other direction is not helping you make your case.
I was taking the piss and I’m not going to research swift, but I hear swifties saying “get your shit together gurl, so I can love you” so constantly that I’m pretty sure that you know some examples off the top of your head.
The private jet thing is so bad it is worth mentioning twice though.
