Emotional abuse happens behind closed doors and leaves no obvious evidence. It is really hard for society to deal with something like that.
It is one way that private schools can justify their expense and that rich people can pass their status to their kids since in a private school it might be safe to be different, but if you are different in the public schools you will get wounded for life and not fulfill your potential.
So it happens behind close doors to people who don't fight back for whatever reason, and are mostly hidden.
What if celebrities were on the TV saying how much having a phone provide therapy chnaged their lives? We can easily imagine a fringe of people doing this - quantified living etc? What happens when those people start to have real world advantages? Are healthier wealthier?
What happens when a company of well adjusted people whose conversations are mapped is able to react faster? Extract meaningful knowledge graphs from who knows what? What about a country - will their army be more efficient ? will having a knowledge economy be all about meta data management ?
What happens at the tipping point ? When does it become suspicious that you are not medically recording your life? When does refusing to allow these recordings make a defence against accusations harder?
None of this is great, or fair, or even better.
But these are feasible future options - and something is going to chnage - this is all possible with tech - and we shall have to deal with it?
I am not advocating for this, I am pointing out the technology not only exists, but exists in every home. It's hard to imagine something along these lines not happening
Edit: I just want to be clear I am not trying to belittle or reject emotional abuse that goes on day in and out across all societies - nor suggesting that tech is some silver bullet for complex problems.
This is the problem deepfakes are meant to solve
