And this is why people (me at least) don’t want all encompassing data collection.
If the police have the data, absent some law protecting it (sometimes even if it does!) they WILL use it.
Hell, someone was probably just trying to make their job easier. “Well we got some DNA evidence from the crime scene. What DNA databases do we have other than criminals? Let’s run it through those, maybe we will get a hit.”
Doesn’t make it ethical or okay.

Can we call this for what is? ONLINE STALKING 👿
Facebook creepily tracking you even though you don’t want to be tracked? ONLINE STALKING 👿

It’s just getting to the point where I want to ditch Facebook forever but so many friends and family use it. :/ (And a lot of these people live miles and miles away, so no, I can’t just “visit them in person”. Especially not during a pandemic.)
