That is why I wrote „excessive“.
There is a difference between instructing security personnel to be aware of gun violence and e.g. trying to justify weakening E2E encryption and omnipresent autonomous face recognition in public spaces.
Small anecdote:
Back in 2017 when Zelda: Breath of the Wild came out, I was able to easily solve the labyrinths. I had all the turns I took in mind and was easily able to backtrack. Back then it was a walk in the park.
When I tried to do the same labyrinths a few weeks ago, I was heavily struggling. I wasn’t able to keep all the paths in mind and lost easily the orientation which surprised me quite a lot.
Of course can also be attributed to a varying mental state but nevertheless it scared me a bit about the apparent loss of certain cognitive abilities.
