It has good and bad uses.
Evil people will decide.........

There was a story about tickets to a football game that had been sent to felons who had a warrant out on them as some kind of prize, and when they showed up at the game, they were arrested.
And that was many years ago.
Does anyone really think that if the government wanted these pictures to do whatever analysis they wanted, that they would be denied?
And does anyone really think that the government is doing it for "our protection"?
Personally, I am willing to take my chances with malignant terrorists rather than a malignant government.
A malignant terrorist might miss some of us.
A malignant government won't miss any of us. Think East Germany on steroids.
And by the way, that picture was not taken by an acquaintance sitting somewhere. That was a company associated with the stadium/football team taking that picture and putting it up on a website so you could look at it if you wished.
What company was that? I don’t remember. But that is the point. It doesn’t matter if it is a company or the government doing it. The two are doing things like this hand in hand.
