Beyond the technology community I doubt that the loss of personal privacy is being discussed at large. Ad trackers had already made internet privacy a myth for the vast majority of the world; we now are seeing this permeate onto personal devices and subsequently to our environment with these always on, silently tracking devices - in the name of convenience. Perfect recall, no need for memory, available at your fingertips - with T&C that completely disregards your need for personal privacy. The challenge though is the "better" alternatives where a mix of privacy and convenience is there is not always convenient. We have and continue to be marketed convenience at the cost of privacy. What we need is consumer data privacy to really become a societal and government concern and for devices which infringe on this to really go through the same scruity as say a drug going thru FDA approval.
