Of course Niantic used Pokemon Go for location training on autonomous weapons, but we weren't worried because it was just a fun game that got people outside.
Of course Snapchat and Instagram used filters to train facial recognition, but we weren't worried because it made our selfies look better and that puppy tongue was so cute.
Of course 23&Me was building a blood quantum database, but we weren't worried because we were curious about our background and it was just harmless fun.
