The article doesn't use the words "privacy" or "confendentiality". There's a presumption that there are no limits to spying on private citizens; we're free game, with no interests or rights; take as much as you can from them. The longer the public takes to understand and react the harder it will be to undo. Already there are organizations that are highly invested in it, from Internet companies to law enforcement and security (and their vendors, such as StingRay) to sales and marketing operations. They will not give up their investment easily. Clearly these organizations think there is something wrong, or they would openly disclose it and talk about it. But if that's what you want, great - just give me a reasonable way to opt out (i.e., without walking around in a ski mask and with use of modern necessities like telecommunications and public transit).
