• The FAA has changed rules that allow the tracking of private jets. The agency also says it's considering making ownership information private by default at some point in the future. Elon Musk and Taylor Swift have called trackers that use the formerly publicly available data a threat.

The days of being able to monitor where private planes owned by celebrities are coming to an end.

A new rule change at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will make it easier for owners of those jets to hide their registration information, making it more challenging for tracking sites like the ones created by a college student who caught the wrath of Elon Musk and Taylor Swift.

Private aircraft owners can now submit an electronic request that the FAA withhold their aircraft registration information from public view, meaning it will not be publicly accessible through FAA services. The agency also said it's evaluating whether to make that information private by default.
