Except they wouldn’t be. As for all other technologies its access will be unequal and limited, with more and better access based on money and specialized interests.

Nuisance incidents will rise and interest groups who aren’t wanting to be watched will have a number of means of prevention ( mud on plates, no plates, false plates). So doxxing will still be a major issue. Again, as always, the ways to misuse this technology as its scope and scale is only limited by imagination
No doubt, you're 100% right about the practicalities. I have a head-in-the-clouds tendency to look at things on a theoretical or idealistic level. (Which I hope is at least better than *yelling* at clouds.)
I think it's worth noting that your objections have mainly to do with people acting in bad faith, and one presumption of a completely open society is that such people would find it harder and harder (and less popular) to act that way. It also requires a great deal of open-mindedness about the behavior of others along with a civil structure that penalizes misuse. All of which is pretty much out of the question with people as we know them.
FWIW, this idea is based on a number of SF novels I've read that feature aliens who, because they're telepathic, can't have secrets from each other, and their society has evolved on that premise. In one case, the species was dog-like in having fur and tails that always reflected their true feelings. In my book, one of the greatest sins is deceit, so I can't help but be drawn to systems that make it difficult or impossible.
I like you ideas and thoughts but I am definitely a feet on the ground realist with a cynical streak I also think that there is a lot of bad faith going around
