There is a difference, the company is doing it to everyone, technology enables new things to happen and laws don't cover it. Before it was impractical for police to assign everyone a personal stalker but tech has made it practical.

By default if something is new enough it has a pretty good chance of being legal because the law hasn't caught up or considered it in advance.
