It's a huge deal. I didn't tell you I like cheese sandwiches. You found out against my consent. You violated my consent,which is a huge deal for me. I get to decide who knows whether or not I like cheese sandwiches. If I am a free person,equal with you under the law then how is it ok for you to violate my consent and persistently stalk me to find information about me for your own gain?

You told someone you like cheese sandwiches. You don't get to decide if they remember you telling them that or not.

  You also don't get to decide who they pass the information on to. The sandwich maker analogy isn't that great because IRL robbers off sandwich shop owners daily as a means of keeping their data private.

Is it stalking if you're willingly giving information in the form of search queries?

If you order cheese sandwiches every time you eat out, and your friends observe that you like cheese sandwiches without you telling them, did they "violate your consent"? If you eat lunch at the same place, and the guy who takes your order notices you like cheese sandwiches, did he "violate your consent"? If the same guy happens to be in line behind you a few days in a row and notices that you always order cheese sandwiches, did he "violate your consent"? I agree the behavior is a bit creepy in the same way I (very) mildly dislike it when the sandwich shop guy knows my order, but it is also unreasonable to expect information you share with others to be kept private. It's not "stalking" for someone to observe things about the world that were made available to them. To change that would necessitate some pretty ugly regulations that would infringe on the rights of everyone (including you).

  I disagree with that. It's nit someone remembering I ate a cheeseburger,they're writing down that I ate a cheeseburger and using that information for profit or to keep tabs on me,you need consent for that. They didn't notice I eat cheeseburgers as a matter of coincidence, they intentionally set out to see what food i eat and use that information. There is a term for that: stalking (which is illegal)
