Nope, I'm just very concerned that once this kind of feature is available from one company, more governments and businesses will find reasons to use it and demand more of it. If this exists anywhere it's bad for everyone.
Of course, it's probably not all that different from what Target has been doing for years, it's just that China is targeting people for participating in a religious observance, which is some dark authoritarian shit.
