It's being used for more than just police surveillance. Entelo watches for your LinkedIn and other profiles to update then tells recruiters that you might be looking for a job. https://www.entelo.com/

That's not really the same thing though. Surveillance is State --> Civilian, but recruitment is Civilian --> Civilian. Different power dynamic, different laws apply, and different consequences.

I used to do that to know when [company]'s top customers were talking with competitors. It's funny how often "private" discussions turn into a LinkedIn request..
