sorry, does 5g magically give other people access to all the phone audio in an area?

  Nope, but it could be used to R&D a new tech that would make mandatory connections to nearby 5G to some "telemetry" band where all sensory information would go, regardless of whether you like it or not. Similarly to how SMS type 0 is handled by baseband processor in every single cell phone already - you don't even know you received/sent hundreds of those. It's not like there isn't some precedent already most people don't know about...

    yes, and i guess they could r&d a 5g standard that streams 4k video from your phone to the nsa at all times on a particular band. the standards bodies would still have to agree to it and consumers would have to want to buy it. i will reserve my concerns for things that actually happen.

      Car manufacturers are already in talks with telcos to get dedicated 10MB/s links to transmit all the telemetry, including visual data. Once such infrastructures are in place and standardized in one domain, it doesn't make much effort to move them to other, "unthinkable" domains.
