There’s another kind of transparency that’s harmful. We have a face-recognition database that can conclude a particular woman was arrested for sex work. There might be some suggestion she was trafficked, and that conclusion comes from her activity trying to keep a low profile. Celebrities (who otherwise have no background in the side-effects) promote this technique and police departments in large, religiously conservative countries use it. I wonder if it harms more than it helps.

Ability to do SOME level of against-law things should be upheld, because law itself is not perfect and doesn't predict every situation.
