I know they are doing this for good, I can't help feeling a little horrified. I am sure there are some very bad uses for this in future autocracies and police states.

What gives you the impression that meta of all companies is "doing this for good" ? They don't exactly have a track record of humanitarian, best for society activities.

They specifically mention the medical uses in the article, though I am far from trusting any of the big tech companies.

I hear you, I'll just leave with the infamous Zuckerberg quote:

"And they trust me the suckers !"
