Good points. But the plebs happen to serve these folks. Not to mention congressmen/women tend to be a lot easier to follow than billionaires. Also the paparazzi are a crafty folk being handed another tool to be sneaky. We'll see.
True... paparazzi can get to people sometimes.
Totally with you on the idea, btw. I think the people destroying the privacy of everyone in society should feel that themselves, too. They shouldn't get to hide behind infinite piles of money to guard their own privacy while they destroy ours.
It would be one thing if we could easily opt out. But we can't. It's not MY choice that puts me into this. It's the choice of some other rando walking down the same sidewalk as me.
