That logic is acceptable. You could also DM an offline friend a tracking pixel to reconstruct their activity, a lot of this endpoint security is entirely up to the user.

I dunno, the ground condition here is "You're invisible/office and no one can see your activity" but that turns out to not actually be fully true. Maybe if it said "You're invisible/offline to the public, but mostly invisible to your friends" it'd be more true and setting the correct expectations. But of course, that's not how that feature is being sold.
