This article is re-reporting of: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/08/opinion/google-privacy.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/08/opinion/google-privacy.ht... (which it does link to.) As far as privacy is concerned, what should worry more about? A random stranger ID'ing me or my license plate being read all over town, and soon enough, my face being recognized. Because frankly I'm more worried about the state than a random stranger. And not even because I'm think I'll commit a crime, but more in the Brazil sense where the state makes a mistake and I somehow get associated with some other person's crime. That's the dystopia I fear. You know, my house isn't a fortess of security either, but I don't worry too much about it because mostly homes don't get burgled (at least in my neck of the woods) and should mine, well I have insurance. Similarly, most people aren't going around trying to ID the folks around them. (To what end anyway?) Society only works because mostly people follow the rules and are basically good to each other most of the time. The golden rule applies here: would you want someone to ID you? No, then don't go around ID'ing other people. I guess at the end of the day: don't be an idiot but you probably don't need to be paranoid about this either.
