"I think you're taking this way further than anyone actually involved would"

Just because you currently seem to have a "failure of imagination" does not mean that law enforcement, corrupt/facist/dystopian government officials or even unscrupulous employees within the tech sector itself will not absure their observational powers now or in the future.

Or maybe you just haven't been paying attention to the news for the last "n" decades.

I have a failure of actual data of problems occuring.

We all deal with "sky is falling" person on our development teams, and it's pointless doomsaying then as it's pointless doomsaying now.

When the bad things happens, we can react. Until then, let's try to stay reasonable.
