WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY anticipated that this technology would have nefarious uses, and/or unintended conseque-

Oh right, warnings for years, no one cares.

The free market has spoken!

Is this a nefarious use case?

This is not an issue of the free market, it is the curse of progress in general. The free market is a concept that is actually fragile and rather rare in reality.

Progress is unstoppable and brings with itself nefarious uses and consequences. It all depends on whether we, humanity, are good stewards of that progress.

If what you actually want to say is that some counter-progress force should exist, than that is naive.

What's funny is that the Koran doesn't specify how you must cover yourself. It is enough to cover your arms or your head, nowhere does it say you must cover yourself head to toe and totally veil one's face. It's just another way men seek to control women.
