Social media platforms like Meta and X (formerly Twitter) tolerate a wide range of content but restrict public tracking of celebrities' private jet routes, citing privacy concerns.

Meta suspended accounts run by Jack Sweeney, who used public data to track jets of prominent figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, highlighting privacy risks for powerful individuals.

The article points out the irony of Meta's selective privacy enforcement, given its ongoing issues with protecting users from harmful content like disinformation and predatory behavior.

Wonder if data brokers get info on billionaires too. Let's normalize exposing everything billionaires do by buying their data, and presenting it to the world

Oh yes, they have lists of famous people whose data is removed, in fact the big data company I used to work for had a whole team dedicated to keeping these lists updated.

I have reported so much stuff on Facebook, including obvious harassment where someone did multiple posts just abusing people

It never gets removed.

But my post telling people where I could be found in the mountains when hiking was for cybersecurity or whatever (in case I disappeared I made this post).

Facebook has turned to complete shit, to the point after 30 years, i wish there was a better alternative
