>It would be interesting to think more about this and how we might be able to maximize the benefits and minimise the downsides.

As if we can control them? Those in power (deep state etc) and the big corporations control them. We have no say into the matter, we'll just get what they decide.

(I'm not saying we can't do anything about it - I'm saying to do anything about it we should address the larger issue of popular will and politics).

I would also argue that the mentality of the kind of people who _want_ this sort of information about others tends to lead to bad places. Most normal people living their life don't _want_ that kind of information or power.
