This is a reality we're going to have to adjust to as a society: if people can see your face, it's getting scanned. And not just by retailers: anybody wearing smartglasses, or anyone with a phone camera is going to scan your face and dox you. In seconds they'll know where you live, everything you posted on any social media site ever, any notable shopping preferences, whether your purchasing patterns indicate any medical conditions... all of it.

It's not a question of allowing it, that's already sort of happening and will continue to accelerate. Focusing on retailers or law enforcement loses the bigger picture. You will do this, and it will seem normal.

To advance the conversation, we need to think about the implications of living in a society of transparent walls.
