I wish opponents would realize this more - that there are very legitimate use-cases for stuff like this, to be actually helpful and used to improve society.

What I wish proponents would accept is that it won't just be used for those use-cases.

It's not an easy situation, especially when you consider the myriad other issues that feed into this.

Unfortunately, as much as I empathize with your position, as long as there is so much potential for abuse, and so long as trust in public institutions continues to erode, I cannot support stuff like this.
