Like what? How can you "vote" against what a giant corporation does?

  I suspect he/she means we have the ability to vote in our political system, which _does_ have the ability to influence what corporations are/aren't allowed to do.

    That's far harder to do tho. It's not uncommon for politicians to deprioritize issues after getting elected or even use certain events to strengthen the state security apparatus. If 49% voted for more privacy, they'd lose to the 51%, but if 49% stopped using those service, it'll force the companies to implement better privacy options.

  Well, voting for one thing. My mayor doesn’t have a ton of control over what the police department does; but they obviously can influence it. Similarly for the state legislature. We also have laws defining advertising standards and protecting privacy. You can vote for people who would require that relationships like this be disclosed, or ban police use of private cameras without the owner’s direct consent. Or define ownership of the videos from cameras like this to say that the manufacturer has no right to use or share the footage.
