Would you say this is any different from the classic "I have nothing to hide" argument? Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument https://

  Speech surveillance has lead to self-censorship of speech. Motion surveillance can lead to self-censorship of motion.

    I think my speech has been self-censored more by the woke movement than the government. Social norms or fads seem to outweigh anything the gov't would get away with, at least in the US

      WiFi and other through-wall radar sensing has been sold to governments for more than a decade, and research code/firmware/papers have been online for 5+ years. WiFi 7 Sensing expands the list of ecosystem participants to hundreds of millions, i.e. it's about scale and ubiquity, not any particular actor. No one can predict what it means to abolish opaque walls. Observations are going to alter the observed.

  not sure, I don't want the gov't to have unfettered access or capabilities, they need oversight and to provide transparency. I'd rather see them put out the reports of how many times they use it, rather than relying on companies volunteering the same information as it applies to them. At least some of them do in the absence of a self-reporting gov't agency generally, there's a balance and it tends to oscillate around that depending on larger events and trends

    WiFi 7 sensing is not gov specific. It's going into commercial routers and laptops.
