The biggest problem is when you combine intrusive massive surveillance with a ultra-powerful entity that can be capricious, malicious, and often abuses and punishes its underlings. I am not so worried about that as I am about the cost. Consider: You could always get the dirt on someone if you were willing to drop a few grand on a private dick. That created a bit of friction - you had to really want to get at that person. But what if you can get all the dirt you could ever use for just $1, or some trivial cost? Someone so inclined could go on a fishing expedition on a whim. Your HR department could routinely do everyone in the company, and every supplier and customer, because why not? That's the way this will be weaponized.
