Some things are actually acceptable, not necessarily good, if only done/available on a small scale. But get problematic once done on a large scale. Good example is paper records, lots of sensible stuff is recorded on paper records. Access to those is often less than perfectly secured. But, because accessing hundreds of them is tedious, and stealing them might require an actual truck, this is not a real world problem. The moment we digitize this data, it get‘s so easy to access, copy, etc that the old level of access protections is no longer enough. Similar problem with scaling up face detection. Lot‘s of jerks would surely like to harass other people by following them around everywhere, spying on them and generally make their life’s miserable. Until know, this was really expensive - time and money wise - so it did happen only rarely. But once this gets automated, it also gets cheap.
