Stalking victims frequently have to move regularly to escape their stalkers. Stalkers needing to avoid one town is a minimal restriction for their offense.
The problem is when you think about actual non-stalkers.
I think this is a too rough, crude, gross, extreme, disproportionate and easy to abuse and misused “solution” for that problem.
There are many overly narcissistic and self-centered people who are going to be thinking that anyone who walks in the same direction as they are necessarily an stalker, and then there is the issue of revenge, blackmail, hate crimes and so on that a person can commit with an application of that nature.
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.
This is just for an alleged rather than convicted stalker. Distances like that mean you would need to relocate to another part of the country over an allegation.
That seems pretty short though, surely it would mean you are not allowed to live, work or even vist the same town they live or work in.
Like if anyone I knew was to be my stalker, one of us would have to quit their job and sell their house to relocate.

I thought you meant short for the victim… like 2km seems not enough. I would expect something more like 10km or something.
