I don’t see what lawsuit he could file against Sweeney that would have a chance at success though. As I said, you can just follow the plane on one of the many tracker apps out there. Banning tracker accounts from Twitter won’t stop people from following celebrity planes if they want to. Yes I don't see what a lawsuit will accomplish and I think he knows it won't do anything but he's probably just upset and doing whatever is in his power legally to stop this from happening again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe it’s actually a good case that these kinds of decisions shouldn’t be up to just one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a big fan of rich people using lawyers and frivolous lawsuits to punish people by making them have to spend money to defend themselves against baseless claims. I’m not sure where the ElonJet guy lived but hopefully wherever it is, there are strong anti-SLAPP laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on this one, but people can get salty when they feel their children are at risk. Often best to avoid tangling with crazy people, crazy lawyers, and the super-rich.

Maybe it just forces the hand of the stalker to knock it off! I have no problem with it. “Rich people” should not be fair game. Is there a trend where rich people are suing people for no apparent reason whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe this is a good reason that best practices would be that content moderation policies shouldn’t be decided at the whim of a single individual. 27 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: Huh?

Going after the creator of ElonJets because of the stalker is frivolous. The lawsuit would have no merit, no chance at success, and no purpose other than to harass a private citizen for something they didn’t do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
