Everybody knows that the government, three letter agencies, shady marketers and unscrupulous businesses will try to track them or do what would be considered as nasty and evil.
I think the distinction here is that Superhuman put that power (with location information) in literally everybody's hands by default (the wrong default, if one could even consider this as a switch). So someone who normally would be paranoid about a stalking ex would've taken other precautions but wouldn't have guessed that this would be so easy (yes, there are many ways people can personally track others, including using phishing and other covert methods).
So the "manufactured outrage" here is more akin to, if I may be completely hyperbolic for a moment, making it easy for anyone to buy assault weapons or nuclear weapons, when everybody knows that those with evil intentions for the masses (like terrorists) would be able to get them easily anyway.
