Why does this surprise anybody?

People nowadays voluntarily carry tracking devices. This will not stop getting worse until that behavior is denormalized.

The power to be gained from abusing it is beyond irresistable. Expecting those in power to not abuse it is like expecting a heroin junkie to be a good pharmacist.

> People nowadays voluntarily carry tracking devices

on the strict premise that tracking is exceptional fair use from a law enforcement agency. Do not mix up the voluntary accolites of Zuck and people who want tools. (The use of 'tools' in the sentence is an originally unintended pun. I will keep the term 'accolites', though tempted to replace it for the pun.)
