I've been thinking this exact thing forever and it always felt weird to me that no one else (in my personal life anyway) considered it. The preponderance of cameras around us virtually every moment of every day kind of gives me the creeps.
Businesses and governments have security cameras. Your bank and credit processor will log every transaction you make, Your phone monitors your location, your cell company monitors it too. You have a good half-dozen firms monitoring you basically 24/7 for a variety of reasons. And it's obviously not any better once you're on the internet.
So I'm just supposed to be okay with those walls closing in around me?
