It surprised me to not find a single instance of "smartphone" or "smart phone" in that entire article. Arguably every smartphone in the world participates unwittingly in a global sousveillance network, they don't even have lens covers or camera-active lights, while running heaps of privileged software beyond control of the owners. Every time I find myself in a cafe, restaurant, or other populated public space it can be rather disturbing to count the number of networked cameras and microphones within my line of sight at any given moment thanks to this development.
