  But you do not imagine that people will compile a profile of all your random photos where you are just background. (maybe google does, but that would be extremely creepy too)

    The LinkNYC monoliths have cameras[0]. If they're not already selling or planning to sell this data for exactly this kind of aggregation, I would be very surprised. (They swear they have a privacy policy but frankly, I just don't believe them).

      Even if they had a privacy policy, if the data leaked, that policy would be irrelevant. This is an additional problem on top of the obvious problems with mass surveillance. You have to trust the Observer to have an appropriate intent. You have to trust that they can secure the data. You have to trust that they will not hire a malicious person Who will misuse their access to the data. You have to trust that they won't be sold to a company that will revoke all of the above considerations. This is far too much to trust, and none of it is in the control of the observed.

    Right. We do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in public for a given location but we do have an expectation of privacy in public in the aggregate (the alternative is called stalking).
