RE: Google Nest Revealed to Contain Secret Microphone
I'm sure there is some legalese covering this somewhere in their terms of service, that almost nobody reads.
That said, most people carry a mobile phone that can track your movements while also having the ability to record audio and video.
Even if you don't have any of this technology, someone nearby will.
This is very true, and why I advocate folks being able to stream the data from their devices to a decentralized DLT (like Steem) that they can make public at their sole option. Government and other corruption and crime will be very much curtailed with that infrastructural development.
Thanks!
That seems quite unlikely for the masses though.
Most don't realize (or care) that there is so much more to the internet than mainstream social media sites.
I was just reading a thread on /pol/ nostalging about how much better Americans had it 30 and 40 years ago. Whether you remember better times or not, conditions, particularly urban conditions, are worsening for most people. When you look at places where crime is worse than it is in the US, such as parts of Mexico, South Africa, and so on, you see that homes are fortresses - gated, fenced, barred windows and steel doors. 50 years ago that was the extent of technology available. Today cameras are almost always part of those security measures.
People pay attention to crime as it does more harm to them, and act. What we're discussing is basically a new kind of security technology, and you're right, few know about it, or will anytime soon. But it will become better known as it becomes better developed, and people look for ways to protect themselves.
I think it's only a matter of time.
