Meta Bans Student Who Tracked Mark Zuckerberg's Private Jet

Social media giant Meta just banned college student Jack Sweeney from Instagram and Threads for tracking billionaires' private jets - including Mark Zuckerberg's! This comes after Twitter (now X) already banned him in 2022 following Elon Musk's takeover.

Meta Bans Student Who Tracked Mark Zuckerberg's Private Jet

Do you know the college kid who exposed billionaires' private jet movements.

Jack Sweeney, a 21-year-old IT student, turned flight tracking into a viral sensation.

He made headlines by revealing where tech titans like Musk, Zuckerberg, and celebrities like Taylor Swift fly their private jets.

Starting on Twitter, his tracking spread to Instagram and Threads, gaining massive attention.

The billionaires weren't happy. Musk even threatened legal action.

When Musk bought Twitter in 2022, Sweeney's jet tracking account vanished overnight.

Now Meta has followed suit, blocking his jet trackers from Instagram and Threads, claiming safety concerns.

Here's the kicker – all this data? Completely public through the US Federal Aviation Administration. Sweeney just made it easily accessible.
