actual non-stalkers.

If you're in the app, you've already been categorised by the legal system as a stalker. If non-stalkers are being categorised as such, that's the problem, not the app.

No

Generally no contact orders work both ways. Neither party cannot go within X distance of each other.

The app’s effectiveness depends on courts ordering suspects to wear electronic tags, something that remains relatively rare in South Korean stalking cases.

Police arrested 29,404 people on stalking charges across 2024 and 2025. Authorities made 1,187 applications for electronic monitoring during that period, but courts approved only 427.

Seems courts are taking the power seriously for the accused.

I don't know how the South Korean legal system works, but this sounds a bit like "release with conditions" we sometime have after arrest in the US.

Reading the article, dangerous stalking seems to be increasing. I hope someone is looking into what's creating that motivation.

If they have an ankle monitor, there is probably some sort of proof. Otherwise the app would probably be the least of your worries. Your theory about tracking the stalker is pretty useless because most people want to avoid their stalker at all cost and not track them down.

Also if the police only reached out to you when your stalker is 200m away how would they arrive in time to help you.

fascinating take. make it easier for the alleged abusers to get close to the victims.
