'Horrifying' leak reveals ICE 'stalkers' have access to Americans' cell phone data

The Government has the ability to actually act on and enforce their will through these services. However, the average private citizen can still make life a living hell for someone (illegally) if so desired. If they want to go to the extreme, a private citizen could use readily available information freely offered on the Net to find, stalk, and harm any number of other individuals anywhere in the country. And a group of private citizens could do the same.

The person I originally responded to made the statement that "Private citizens cannot track you in this way."

I contend that they can, as I did it to myself using a proxy as cover. The government can do it BETTER and can back it up with much more force, but private citizens can certainly access similar if differently obtained information for their own purposes.
