    Possibly unpopular take but in a vacuum I think this is good policy (as described). I think this directly disarms some of the psychological harm of stalking, while being “narrowly tailored”

    Now do I trust the Republic of Samsung to use this policy/technology only in a pro-social way? Lmao no

      It’s their “Hallyu” business rolling out 5-min stars and cheap plastic surgery which encourage this kind of obsession for profit.
