Now there's a potential downside to all of this...

You're empowering the masses. And that means politicians and powers that be are having to cater to the masses. On the surface, that could be a good thing. But you have to realize the average person is pretty fucking stupid.

We all know people who are of just "average" intelligence. By definition, half the world is dumber than them. Scary.

Most of the time transparency is good, other times it's bad.

Think about history, let's go back to WW II.

Until his death, FDR's paralysis was hidden from the American people. Even in those days would a man in a wheel chair have been elected? Would he be today?

Now think about D-Day. 10,000 or so casualties as they hit the beach. Imagine the press and public today with that one. No stomach for it at all. However, the allied leaders knew it was necessary, and the American people knew nothing about it until it was over the beaches were secured.
