Know Your Anonymity Limits
Society is navigating the complexities of anonymity versus convenience, acknowledging that individuals often willingly exchange personal information in certain contexts, such as being a celebrity in public or during border crossings. This exchange is viewed as a social contract, where convenience, like bypassing long waits with facial recognition technology, is prioritized in specific scenarios despite the inherent loss of anonymity.
