>But if someone with my likeness was there, and a mob of redditors mistake that person to me, yes, that's something that I can be afraid of.

who says this can't happen with law enforcement surveillance?

It can, but with law enforcement there is due process. I can tell them I was in a different place, I can bring witnesses, they can check the logs of my IPhone, etc. With the mob, there are no checks and balances.

I hope you never experience America’s “due process.”

You thinking highlights your own inexperience. The system idd as heavily flawed and often makes mistakes. Many convictions are eventually thrown out. And that’s the very imperfect justice system. Don’t get me started on very imperfect software or data management.
