It is worse than that, isn't it? People spend many $hundreds on mobile phones so thay can be tracked and monitored everywhere. Cars now have similar additions. They buy Siri, Google Assistant, Hound, Alexa etc so that people can listen in to their domestic arguments. They buy door bells that log you in and out while monitoring your street for passers-by. Still, some find them useful!

People opt for smart meters and electric cars so your energy use and travel can be curtailed at the flick of a switch. All that isbefore we start on monitoring websites like this one and social media, YouTube etc for comments.
