    …and a great security/relief for victims. I’m a vivid apologetic for privacy and security, but this seems like an acceptable thing.

    People seem to be fine to be transparent and 24/7 surveilleid with their phones. Some even seem to be fine to install doorcams from US-bigtech or spy-devices that can switch on a light. Heck, they even pay for those!

    This at least is a vers useful application of privacy invasion.

      Copy-paste from another comment I did:

      The problem is when you think about actual non-stalkers.

      I think this is a too rough, crude, gross, extreme, disproportionate and easy to abuse and misused “solution” for that problem.

      There are many overly narcissistic and self-centered people who are going to be thinking that anyone who walks in the same direction as they are necessarily an stalker, and then there is the issue of revenge, blackmail, hate crimes and so on that a person can commit with an application of that nature.

        Well, if someone is falsefully labeled a stalker, then what happens? He won’t come near.

        Also, as said, the chance this stalker is already fine with being tracked all around by every device he owns, is probably near 100, so who cares?

          Copy-paste because it’s essentially the same response:

          Well, I have to admit that I didn’t read the article, just the title, now I have read it and understood the system.

          Sorry, my bad for making a hasty conclusion.

          I still feel that it can be abused because for a non-stalker is difficult to actually prove in a meaningful way that they’re not an stalker, and as such can be easily mislabeled. That’s specially problematic when you take into account things like pretty privilege, poverty traps, class dynamics, etc.

          But at least now it seems a bit more reasonable. I just hope that it’s used in a fair and responsible way.

          But also:

          Well, if someone is falsefully labeled a stalker, then what happens? He won’t come near.

          Imagine that person works, lives or has something to do regularly there (i.e., medical checkouts, or accountability stuff, or legal stuff, idk). It’s a huge problem if it’s misused.

          And I’m not even against the victims, as almost everyone here thinks that I am because of the fact that I think this is a bit problematic. I just think that a better solution should be developed.
