I am nearsighted, but for a long time I did not wear glasses. I could recognize a lot of my friends by gait and posture from a huge(for me) distance, long before I could see their faces. My cat knows who's coming before the door opens - she can tell the steps. I don't think privacy will last, given how data collection improve.
I suggest a compromise: all data can be collected, but it has to be locked up until a court order is issued to unlock it. A real court, not one of those courts. A fourth branch of the government will be in charge of safekeeping, to avoid the pressure from executive. Kind of like BBC in the UK.

- tdy721 10y agoSo the algorithms for this kind of recognition already exist in your head (and your cat's). How do you propose we lock that kind of information down? Do you really believe we can lock that kind of information down? How would a Fourth branch of government fall into the checks and balances of the current system? Also, your system assumes some kind of World Government? I would really love to be wrong here...
