I don't think we really understand the role or the utility of laws regarding this stuff yet. But, there are two things that I think need to proceed regardless.

I don't think we really understand the role or the utility of laws regarding this stuff yet. But, there are two things that I think need to proceed regardless. (1) One is user control. My android phone is running all sorts of stuff that I know about mostly because of battery use. There must be a better way. App permissions isn't the end game. (2) The second is hysterical public outcry. Sometimes a cold headed analysis is the right way of going about things, but… A terrifying and unpredictable mob response has always been an important tool of societal immune systems. Highlight. Names & Shame. "Samsung is recording your teenagers having sex!" I realize there isn't one culprit. That doesn't matter, pick one and deliver mob justice.
