Cameras in car, sure, those record your trip, illegal in some countries, illegal to upload as well there, could still save you so people still use them Bank machines, record in front of them. Stores, sure, you know they are there. None if these are aggregated by a central party, stored forever and mined. Eyeglasses, imagine you go for a beer with your friend and he's wearing them, potentially recording everything without you knowing... is it different?, do you still talk to him?. Imagine same guy going into the office, recording there, going to meetings, is he going to be allowed to?, imagine these being uploaded to facebook to be stored forever and be pulled at any point in the future. This whole thing made me realize the value of it all for facebook to do the aggregation... they would profit immensely in the future (imagine data brokers used in westworld to build their ais, imagine the level of propaganda targetting... blackmail, etc). If they do manage to do this without pushback its going to be interesting.

Or are they not storing the data, analyzing it, and monetizing it? > Several weeks ago it was reported that over 400 law enforcement agencies had partnered with Amazon’s Ring Camera. Ring distributes a free app called the Neighbors App that Ring owners use to store video images in the cloud. Amazon has now bonded its Neighbor’s app with police agencies to effectively turn private homeowners into snitches for the police. https://www.technocracy.news/amazon-co-opting-homeowners-ring-cameras-to-police/ https://www.technocracy.news/amazon-co-opting-homeowners-rin... It seems Amazon is monetizing it just fine, and what do "partners" do with the data once they've obtained it? Do they not store it, analyze it and do stuff with their "discoveries" as well?

  Are you intentionally ignoring what i said? ring cameras are the same as cctv in my previous comment. What do you say about people wearing them in social/professional situations, recording and uploading to facebook all your interactions. What do you do if you are faced with that? If you whatabout again please consider discussion over.
