#9  I'm just not sure how anonymity in public places balances with personal rights for privacy in private places, given that there are so many bad actors at large these days. And, not just democrats :-)

#6  Don't be a criminal, and nobody with surveillance technology will care about you

#5  I am not sure I get it. The concern. The nefarious purposes. Sure, inside of your house, privacy should be a right. But once you step outside, into your city, they have no right to know where you go are what you are up to? In China they do this all of the time, and as one result, they have no armed state troopers. You speed, run a red red light, fine ... you get a phone call and are told where to go pay your fine. Nobody gets shot. If you are a criminal without a mask, they find you. If you are a criminal with a mask, well you just advertised that you are a criminal. That's simple and 99% right.

Don't be a criminal, and nobody with surveillance technology will care about you, not even 1%. And tying together 'deepfakes' and facial recognition eludes me.
