I personally think there's no "may" about it because when the technology is there, they will use it.

As far as overbearing control, privacy and rights invasion goes, it's already way out of control and needs dealing with before it's too late.  The citizens of the world need to gang-up and take control before those in power take absolute control of us because like you said, this stuff really isn't science fiction anymore.

Wasn't that long ago I read the American Government wanted to make it "law" to implant every American citizen with a tracking device chip (no kidding).  I wouldn't be surprised if in the next five years, every American midwife has the role of implanting 'Citizen Tracking Chips' into every newborn as a matter of routine.

It's f'ing scary, disgusting stuff, and it must never be allowed to happen.

 

It is already here for many, it's called a smart phone and yet the there is no chance of Apple or Samsungs and the like share price dropping below a $1.  I can only assume such users are being tracked by choice then.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
