So don't install a security camera in your 8 year old daughter's bedroom, especially if you don't intend to use good security practices. That isn't a societal issue, that is an issue of the parents being idiots. Like I said, I fail to see how a doorbell camera, even with bad security practice, is going to be more dangerous than a smartphone which tracks what you are browsing on the internet and your positional data within a few feet at literally every second of the day.

You're not entirely wrong. Parents, and individuals in general, have to more careful. I won't call them total idiots though, because these companies promise those very use-cases through their marketing. Any device that compromises the privacy of you/others without your/their permission is dangerous, as is a video doorbell for your street and neighbors, a voice assistant secretly used for persona marketing, or even a webcam on your laptop. A false sense of security with a huge potential for misuse. I won't go into details, but my past gov projects tell me it's better to be safe than sorry.
