The website enabled stalking individual city employees by their initials in real time.

If it just showed where the cars were, that would be much better. Although still questionable IMHO.

Loudly publishing the information at least got the city to stop quietly publishing the information.

You're not wrong. But serving it up on a silver platter in a pretty UI that got a lot of press was probably not necessary to make that happen.

Initial thought: That doesn’t sound great.
