Automated stalking! This is definitely a bad thing.

the more likely scenario is that we get to the point when people only put up online the bullshit image of their better selves, which decensitize people to the point that they don't trust online profile anymore.
The thing is we already have automated stalking, no need to go to a bar even
Definitely a good excuse to just allow the technology to come into existence then. "Hey bad things already exists let's just add more of it! Don't wanna be against progress right?"
i m not sure that's still the zeitgeist
