I worry that it's gonna cause an increase in ID theft as well because of flawed security.
You also know that every single cell phone will immediately start pinging every chip in the area at all times, then sending that information back to every corporation and government willing to pay. They'll know exactly where everyone is, at all times. Even better than 5G. The NPCs won't even give a shit, until they start getting rounded up for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the rest of them will just rationalize it away. "Maybe s/he shouldn't have been doing bad things in the first place!" What's defined as "bad" will keep on creeping, until even the most upright citizens are rounded up and sent to the gulags.
