This is pretty disturbing tbh. I really can’t believe someone thought it’d be a good idea to make this. I have no confidence that they’re distinguishing between rioters, and media, passerby’s, police, and genuinely non violent people. If you’re someone cheering this on ask yourself how long before it happens at a protest you support, your kids are at, your friends or you. This is a pretty fucked up thing these people made.

Not only will it be used as you describe, other far more nefarious upgrades or "enhancements" will be added on. It's not enough to identify the kids at the protest, now you can even send retribution their way from the comfort of your own couch.
One enhancement I can imagine is charging a processing fee to have your face removed from the site. If it is as easy to build this as was claimed in the article, then it is only a matter of time before someone does this.
Sousveillance + information wants to be free. Broke or woke?
