Can anyone with a legal background explain to me why I can't file a restraining order that prevents companies from stalking me online?
Primarily for companies that develop shadow profiles of users but also companies like google and cloudflare where their tracking is a result of an opt-in by the site operator.
Would it be difficult to prove I am in fear (rational) as a result of their stalking?
I don't believe you can get a restraining order against a company (just an actual person). You would ask for injunctive relief, which is basically the court telling the company not to do something, in this case, tracking you online.
I'm not aware of the law in this area. I'm a lawyer, and I could at least see a plausible argument, but the only way to know for sure would be to try to sue them, or find other cases where someone has successfully done so.
