Well, it's going to have to be if we're going to live in a world where facial recognition technology exists.

Because this idea where the government wants to jail peaceful protestors, but surely they'll refrain from using certain technologies to find them if we just ask nicely does not make sense to me.

I mean I agree but if they wanted to jail peaceful protestors surely they could do that by showing up at the protest and rounding them up? The whole point is to be conspicuous.
