Isn’t this part of the original question? No. The justification for mass surveillance and totalitarianism is always “it will make us safer in the short term.”
No one who knows me will be surprised to find out that I think it creates larger long term dangers or that safety isn’t my highest value in any case.
Response to the edit: I don’t know how I would react, because they didn’t have malicious intent, but they still wronged me. I would be angry with them, and it would definitely have a negative effect on our relationships.
I wouldn’t look down on anyone who wanted to tag their own photos.
And I would be willing to do geo tracking with something that I believed was actually temporary. Give me a dongle I can throw away when this is all over and I’ll carry it around.
