Swift’s legal team often undertakes such intimidation attempts.

A previous victim of this system now encourages the student.
Jack Sweeney will probably feel like a little mouse taking on Godzilla in the fight once morest Taylor Swift (34), writes Meghan Herning at “The Daily Beast”. The pop superstar’s lawyers recently threatened the 22-year-old IT student with legal action for logging Swift’s private jet flights. “Welcome to the club. You are not alone,” Herning continues.
Swift’s lawyers also tried to intimidate her with a cease-and-desist letter in 2017. “But you don’t have to be afraid of it. “I faced the legal wrath of Taylor Swift – and won,” says Herning to encourage Sweeney. She is certain: there is a system behind the intimidation attempts.
Taylor Swift was idolized by right-wing extremists
In the article, Herning explains how her conflict with the pop superstar came regarding. «I found it strange that so many right-wing extremists idealized her as an Aryan goddess and she didn’t fight back once morest it. That’s why I wrote regarding it on my blog.” She then received a letter asking her to immediately delete the text and remove it from all platforms.
Herning defied the will of the lawyers, invoked her right to freedom of speech, which is extensive in the USA – and won.
She suspects Swift’s team knew full well that the cease-and-desist letter would be overturned in court. “The rich and powerful use lawyers to scare others and bully journalists,” writes Herning in the article at The Daily Beast. Even if Jack Sweeney’s case is a little different, he should stand firm.
The star fears for his safety
For the 22-year-old, it is the second David versus Goliath clash. Two years ago, Neo-Twitter owner Elon Musk (52) banned Sweeney from the platform because he also logged the entrepreneur’s flight movements with publicly available data. Musk justified the ban by saying that the student would endanger his safety if everyone knew when he appeared where.
Swift’s lawyers are now making similar arguments in her case. Sweeney is said to have caused “direct and irreparable harm, emotional and physical distress” to Swift and her family. A stalker has been following the pop superstar for years. If their flight logs were published, it might provoke imitators.
In addition, there would be “no legitimate interest or public need for this information.” However, the latter is wrong. Swift has been facing criticism for weeks that she is threatening the environment with her flying. Most recently, Sweeney revealed that Swift boarded her private plane for 13 minutes to fly from one end of St. Louis to the other.
The Internet then made jokes at their expense. If she might stop Sweeney, it would probably benefit her image.
