Impact of facial recognition technology in the western world

First of all, it's impossible to interpret whether you intend to start a discussion based upon the topic, or if you're just posting your concerns disguised as an open-end question.

Nevertheless, spoiler alert. You're delusional if you think you're anonymous as of right now, especially when you're out in the public, and as the technology evolves, so does the opportunities and risks increase as well.
We're left with nothing but guesses and estimates, but no one will actually be able to provide an answer before it's too late, and said technology already has been implemented.

It'll be impossible to fathom the extend of which said development in technology and politics will impact on any society, also there'll be too many factors that has to be taking into account, to even make a reasonable guess.
Yet, there's plenty of guesstimates available.


Some of them are:
"David Ellis, course director for the Department of Communication Studies at York University in Toronto: “Like so much in online culture… privacy has no end game; the ‘right balance’ today will not be seen as workable tomorrow.”"

Nick Arnett, business intelligence expert, and creator of Buzzmetrics, wrote, “Society’s definitions of ‘privacy’ and ‘freedom’ will have changed so much by 2025 that today’s meanings will no longer apply. Disagreements about the evolving definitions will continue.”

Homero Gil de Zuniga, director of the Digital Media Research Program at the University of Texas-Austin, responded, “By 2025, many of the issues, behaviors, and information we consider to be private today will not be so… Information will be even more pervasive, even more liquid, and portable. The digital private sphere, as well as the digital public sphere, will most likely completely overlap.”

Rebecca Lieb, an author and an industry analyst for the Altimeter Group, wrote that today’s Millennials will be policy makers by 2025: “My optimistic viewpoint is that, with just a bit more time, those who will attempt to balance the interests of personal privacy and business interests will do so from a more informed perspective, legally, culturally, and with a better perspective on disruption.”

I'm watching you! Muhahahah
