Yes, that’s true. But fantasizing about hiring someone to spitefully stalk an actual specific person is especially creepy and unhealthy.

I can call out that danger without supporting widespread user tracking.

It’s unacceptable even as a “joke”.

I agree but I think you are lost in the nuance.

There’s no nuance to “I wish I could hire someone to harass this person to prove my point”

That’s not an ok thing to say or believe.

Of course it isn't and op used that notion effectively to illustrate how it's also not acceptable for corporations to do variations of that also.

Except the argument is ineffective for two reasons:

1) The author doesn’t support what Google is doing.

2) The author isn’t tracking anyone.
