This is both a fitting punishment and a nightmare from a privacy perspective

You know what? I’m OK with a panopticon specifically for convicted stalkers. I realize the potential for a slippery slope, but I think the risk is worth it in this one case.

It wont stay confined to stalkers, it’ll start being used for poor people in general.
Trangressions like being late to work will be held against you. You know they will.

Don’t know about you, but I’m already reprimanded if I’m late for work, whether they’re tracking my real time location or not.

uses data from court-ordered electronic ankle monitors
Soo, your line of thought says that we are all gonna gef an ankle monitor? At that point i doubt the app is the kickstarter of the problem…

You want your SNAP? Your EBT card? Put on the bracelet.
That’s how it’ll get deployed.
As if GM isn’t telling the highest bidder where your car is (and how much you owe on it).
