I didn't speak of preclusion, I just asked what was planned for those

"Temporarily". You said it, not me. Face and behavior-noticing neural
nets will be cheap enough to peel off and stick like Britney stickers
someday, probably sooner than we'd like. So gross location and activity
monitoring is basically a given. This has a big impact on what a lot of
average people would construe as "privacy".
Cryptocurrency, Mixmaster, etc. are well and good, but as I think Bruce
Schneier likes to put it, some approaches to security are like putting a
single fence picket a mile high in the ground and hoping all your
adversaries run into it and knock themselves unconscious.
