You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. "Do you want to fill out the application manually, or upload your resume?" You select the latter and upload your resume. Indeed loads the next page: "Please fill out your work history manually." You scream 20 times
This is a great point. There are some people who just will never vote for a candidate if they feel that the person supports genocide, even if it means their livelihood will be impacted! I guess we should factor those voters in when we select candidates. Would hate to lose again!

The weirdest part to me: this comes after the EU determined that Apple's locked store is too restrictive, and Apple agreed to allow 3rd party stores. Why the hell would Android go in the opposite direction? Will this put them in violation of the same EU regulation?
I don't think the issue is "I want to do illegal things in public without consequence." It's more, "I don't trust the mechanisms of enforcement to use this power justly."
For example: Radio City Music Hall used facial recognition tech to identify and ban a lawyer whose firm was suing them. She wasn't even working the case. RCMH just issued a blanket ban. It's abusive.
And there are other risks. Stalking is a huge one. (Some creep takes your pic at the supermarket and now you spend a year of your life getting creepy messages and feeling unsafe everywhere you go.) Or there's the risk that people who participate in lawful protest will face retribution or punishment by corrupt law enforcement.

(I'm serious tho. When you have kids you can get their grandparents to install ANYTHING if you tell them it has pics of the new baby.)
