And this is the problem with slippery slopes. I find the facial recognition gps tracking apps to be horribly intrusive and not a good alternative to being locked up in a hotel, which is also awful. They always pull this crap, and society ends up accepting the lesser of two evils. Like the meme, always has been.

Centuries ago, people had to be locked up for 40 or 50 days on a small ship (the original “quarantine”) to prevent spreading disease before they’d be allowed in.
Modern technology reducing it to 14 days and a few photos in the comfort of your home seems an improvement, not a slippery slope.
