I would argue that privacy is a basic human right and tracking (stalking) should be taken seriously.
Would you say the same thing about stalkers following you on the street, watching you from a distance and browsing through your trash? As long as they don't do anything to you, is it all okay?
No, it's not and you would get a restraining order (i.e. GDPR)

Yeah that's not creepy at all.
- xwdv 5y agoThe only reason to get a restraining order is if it is highly likely they will do something to you. If you can guarantee they will not do anything and are just collecting information for some other purpose, then no it doesn’t matter.
