It's funny to me how many people are "shocked" by this. Nobody has no privacy anymore. In way, arguing over it or clutching pearls over it is kinda like arguing over who left the barn door open and let the horse wonder out.
We reached the threshold of 1984 creepiness in "western" democracies a long time ago, now we're at the point were British police departments are using Preditor-style drones to patrol [i]England[/i] for police purposes. We collectively started out on this road 60 years ago when courts started issuing warrants for wire-taps.
That isn't to say that it's right or that we should settle with the status quo.
The thing is now how to figure out how to deal with it.
