Under U.S. law, it is generally legal to track and surveil someone using a large language model if certain steps are taken to protect privacy. Such efforts may involve obtaining a court order or other approval by the appropriate authority such as a government agency in order to gain access to data from companies like Google and Facebook that might contain information related to the target individual or group. Additionally, it is important to take steps such as using anonymization tools and procedures, obtaining consent from those being surveilled where possible, minimizing retained data collection and maintaining secure storage of collected materials. Not following this protocol can result in civil or criminal liability depending on the jurisdiction.
