The problem with 1984 isn't just the power Big Brother wields, but the malevolence with which it is inflicted. Would it be the same story if Big Brother were benevolent?
This is why we want tech people to learn ethics and consider social impact. If you ignore (or are blind to) the massive social consequence of WEI, you can see all the problems it'd solve or help mitigate. Goodbye spam and LLM spam, revenge porn and traffickers can be tracked back, etc.
To be clear, this is not an endorsement of WEI, only that it's very easy to imagine the type of person who can passionately implement it.
