    “We’re supposed to be able to go about our business in our day-to-day lives without being surveilled unless we are suspected of a crime, and each little bit of this technology strips away that ability.”

    Sounds nice in theory, but that’s not true at all. From my understanding, there is no expectation of privacy in public.
    It feels really strange, but we are all under satellite observation almost 24/7. There are observational drones that can loiter and collect ground data. This has been around for decades. Radio lab did a great episode about this.
    It’s definitely creepy. There is no escaping it at this point :/.

      There’s escaping through legislation, it may take a bit of work.

        And then the FBI, CIA, military will likely just ignore the law anyway.
