The majority of others aren't. The technology also isn't exclusive to Google, or won't be for long. Forget placing drugs on a person to have an excuse to arrest them, there will be photographic evidence, completely fake, of anyone counter to the system doing whatever crime they want to pin on us.

Look at the good side of this - now nobody has any reason to trust central authorities or any kind of official organization.

Previously it required enormous power to do such things. Now it's a given that if there's no chain of trust from the object to the spectator, any information is noise.

It all looks dark everywhere, but what if we will finally have that anarchist future, made by the hands of our enemies?
