Or at the very least, you were dealing with people who were _also_ not anonymous. It's a balance-of-power issue more than anything.
- close04 7y agoThere are fundamental differences between people and machines recognizing you. I'm sure people relied on the fact that other people forget. Machines don't. Machines all look the same and you cannot make the difference between friend and foe, who you should be hiding from and who you shouldn't. Machines can be far more intrusive than humans because they don't have to submit to any social norm, they are not afraid of being spied on themselves, they are not afraid of being recognized while spying. And they anonymize the people controlling them. These make all the difference between being recognized by humans and machines.
