If a journalist uses an Airtag/GPS tracker to track the location of a shipped item, and publishes the results of where it ended up, can the company the package went to sue and/or press charges?
Inspired by a recently-posted article, I have a question. Since "corporations are people", and the laws on the books about using GPS trackers are focused on preventing stalking/harassment, does a corporation have the ability to successfully argue that the use of that tracker was criminal? Or would they have standing to file a civil suit?
My underlying assumption is that first-amendment protections and the public interest would outweigh any arguments in the other direction, but I'm legitimately curious if there's something here.
