Your last point is a very big deal. I don't believe people fully comprehend how awful the world will be when extortion is global and commonplace. If criminals are not already making extensive use of facial recognition and cellular tracking, they soon will be. It wont be long before there's enough dirt on political candidates that governments will be mired in problems that remain rare today. We restrict law enforcement from using tools like Clearview for many legitimate reasons but there is no such restriction on crime that often involves the same reasons. Even something innocuous such as being in the vicinity of a certain area at a certain time coupled with better deep fakes will create headlines or fabricate evidence to sideline business deals. I suspect we will be forced to move towards a world where people increasingly get a free pass for past behaviour and many crimes will simply have to be decriminalized for society to function. We are beginning to see push back for many whose careers have been ruined by so little as an errant comment and I expect change to spread from that.
