I don't know how helpful it is to go from zero to "simply disgusting" that fast but yeah, you're not wrong. This technology is meant to facilitate control over people. Of course it's ostensibly for our own good, but like other seemingly-innocent panopticisms it cannot be considered in a vacuum. These systems are always applied unequally and divide us into measured and measurers, to say nothing of the ramifications automated compliance detection might have combined with identification, social/fiscal credit, and other existing technologies.
