Seriously WHY THE FUCK IS NO ONE PANICKING. This is the point that we can never go back from. No more revolutions, no more coordinating against the powers that be, no more walking down the street to buy food without anyone knowing who you are or what you’ve been doing for the past month.
I was going to say nothing could be done, but actually something could. Unauthorized release of information on someone’s whereabouts and other data could be made a crime of strict civil liability, incurring what would normally be a small fee. Now ordinarily that wouldn’t do much, but after the first few lawsuits, suddenly all those smart features on the phones would be used to auto-blur faces unless the user specifically unblurs them, etc. Also it would kill Equifax and other companies too stupid to adequately secure data.
