@dalias
The issue is that you would have to block every single account using their app, if you want to keep control over this, which doesn't sound scalable.
I'm not sure how an efficient protection against that would look like, though.

@WishGate Yeah exactly. The point of calling this out with screenshots of someone who doesn't want to be called out (and who blocked me) is that this is an egregious threat of invading folks' privacy with no practical way to block it.
