"minority"

This doesn't help the discussion. Also, anything less than half is a minority.

Not everyone participates, some are scared probably.

The hongkongers are protesting, so in Hong Kong your minority is 100% of the residents.

Your statement is deceptive

Is the kind of facial recognition only bad if wielded by a nefarious government? Partly I think that huge DNA databases, biometric databases and millions and millions of cameras would be wonderful for catching criminals. On the other hand, the opportunities for abuse are too many to number. Has anyone written anything interesting on where/how to draw the line?

>Has anyone written anything interesting on where/how to draw the line? I think the book titled '1984' touched on this subject a little

No, thats a nerfarious government.

Are you saying that every Hong Kong resident would choose to protest if not scared?
