I'd hope not. We should normalize less surveillance, not more.

How is it surveillance when two consenting adults share their location with each other using a self hosted service?

Yeah, knowing my SO's location is super important for multiple reasons imo... Primarily safety and knowing how long it will take to get back from someplace (or how long I can keep messing around with stuff at home). I'm sure there's other valid reasons but kinda just provides me peace of mind.

Consent is not a simple binary thing.

Creating expectations around accepting surveillance is not healthy.
