True. Like if media is waiting outside a courthouse or something. "We are down at the courthouse waiting for so and so...".
But if someone was tracking me, I would absolutely want a clear policy to have it taken down. I don't know anyone who would disagree with this.
I think its good though because there is an inherent fascination in people to want to know where people are (like celebrities) and to watch where they go. And a lot of this information could be collected by social media posts if someone really wanted to.
Like an SBF tracker for instance...would be interesting to get a notification when he gets transferred to prison and to the courthouse. But if you happened to be in SBF's situation, you would prefer your privacy.
I think its a big thing. People are looking at it as just one small thing that he does for himself, but the right to privacy of location is a big deal. And mainly because everyone would prefer to be in control of their privacy. And also, posting pictures on social media, or someone seeing you in the street, is public, but shouldn't give someone the right to repost this with live GPS coords. Except if someone is like "I'll be signing books, come down and meet me" which is giving permission, which is allowed by the rules.
Sigh. Privacy is a good thing! But now its politicized, so people for it turn against it.
