Yeah, that's true. I mean, he outright admitted that it would be used for nefarious purposes. I am curious to see how these things will operate in the wild. It says it'll have a range of 3 blocks in cities, so maybe he's envisioning some kind of piecemeal cloak that will hide more people than those that bought it?

I'm also curious about this:

    Commuters will also find it useful, he said. Neighborhoods will be better able to fight crime because Decentral will include an option that sends an alert if there is a burglary or other crime.

So, it's a privacy device that also monitors?
