Does ramification here mean "a development that complicates a situation"?

Context:

This gentleman should be considered a hero, he was highlighting an issue that has HUGE ramifications. Ramifications, not just for the people who make these devices, but also for all the people who are and may have to use one. I beggers belief that with the speed in which technology is moving forward that people do not understand or even believe that these things are possible. It may be an idea for these people to check out the details of a certain individual called Michael Hastings!!
