Adding here also that the stalking in this article was of the personal harassment nature, not 'stalking' to contact them about potential COVID exposure.

It would be a nuisance to have to sign in at restaurants, especially with a physical address.

That's what "stalking" means. I sure hope no one's expanding the term to mean "contact tracing".

This is not necessarily the case. I took it to mean that Google, Apple, and the govt all have employees, some of them rouge, just like subway.

I have friends who carry a passport card because they've had unawanted contact from bouncers, bartenders etc.

This type of incident is super common.
