> But I don't see how security cameras, or at least the video doorbells, are more dangerous than all of the other things we've just already accepted, like constant tracking of our positions via smartphones and our online browsing habits. Things add up, that's all. Before, you had the danger to personally be tracked in an area around you and listened to. Now you add a device that can get sound, image and movement of anybody in a zone, and possibly extrapolate their position and potentially face recognition. The phone story is bad, very bad. But at least we can switch it off, not take it with us, etc. When you walk in the street in front of those camera, you have no choice but to be spied on. The sum of all the phones + smart speakers + e-health devices + Ring-like products has a deadly potential for democracy. Their coverage is monumental. Right now we feel like the benefits are huge, and the cost minimal: most people are not affected in their daily life by the surveillance, or at least not in a way that is annoying enough. So we accept it. But the issue is not about what it does right no. Just like climate change, it's about what it can do in the future.
