Taylor Swift’s lawyers have threatened legal action against a Florida university student who uses public data and social media to track the private jets of billionaires, politicians and celebrities.

In late December, Ms Swift’s camp hit Jack Sweeney, a junior student studying information technology at the University of Central Florida, with a cease-and-desist letter that blamed his automated tracking of her private jet for tipping off stalkers as to her location.
