Not targeting my reply to you, @cornice, directly. But how did the world end up being so paranoid?

I meant more specifically people like Mark Hamill. I'm sure celebrities feel under constant surveillance from fans. Feels like this might be taking it to another level.

But obviously he chose to tweet about it in the first place, so it presumably doesn't bother him much.

I guess on the 'constant surveillance' bit, it seems relevant that someone who knows Mark personally reached out to the site maker and suggested that he'd like this. That (plus the fact that the site doesn't actually have accounts or user data) really lowers the level of "strangers watching me" in play here.
Probably because the next person will take this well intentioned and well executed idea and take it a step too far.
Totally! Because no one has ever thought to combine public information with their access to privileged information to target a specific individual ... until now!
