Wouldn’t have to be ‘authorities’, but for people with broken families, authorities who knock on the door and check for a health crisis are literally all that they have.

(We have family that would be homeless if we hadn’t taken them under our wings to house them).

I am sorry to hear that. But these problems would still not justify surveillance of users with a direct line to authorities. In some countries these can be quite abusive. For people that such engagement with AI is dangerous should look for other means.
