We tolerate it because it's absolutely different. In the real world, you don't know anything unless I tell you specifically. I went somewhere last Tuesday, you don't find out unless I TELL YOU. Unless you are following me and listening in, which is creepy. Online, you pretty much telegraph the entire thing. You carry a locator in your pocket. You leave trails based on your IP address. There are no secrets. You can't tell the world where you are and what you're doing and then get mad because people know. You told them.
