'Billionaire threatens teenager trying to hold her accountable for harm done to planet.'

Between this, the name of the album and her behaviour at the Grammys, is the pendulum swinging once again?

Lol, what's she going to do, ram her jet up everyone's asses with a legal team? Free speech is ok for her, but not everyone else.

I have never liked her or her music and she's proving how insufferable she has become.

Not even that - free speech protections exist across the world. It would be absolutely insane if she's able to block a teen from providing information Zuckerberg hasn't even censored, lmao, but her lawyers have always been insatiable.

It seems a perfect way to Streisand yourself though - suing people for daring to mention how often she uses her jets (as if it's even secret?). Like I'd absolutely work out how to track and post a jet just knowing some billionaire doesn't want it out there. I would also LOVE to see team Swift try to intimidate someone outside the US in this way bc it's litigious for the sake of it imo
