It's not authoritarian to use technology to improve people's lives. If you're in a public place, you're subject to being photographed by any number of circumstances both human and machine. How to balance it so that it isn't abused is a valid argument to have, but disregarding tech because it could run amok isn't a reason to forsake it altogether.
