This idea is fully escalated in J. Dukaj's 2001 novel "Black oceans" [1].
> Dukaj extrapolates from the current trend of increasing lawsuits and political correctness: in his world many people willingly live under constant mass surveillance of the New Etiquette (NEti), which registers all their actions so that they couldn't be falsely accused of some "personal offense crime".
That includes people's apartments and them having sex. And of course the NEti records are sealed and secure - theoretically.
