"When you drive on public roads, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy."

I think in the age of automated large scale image recognition we need to revise the concept of privacy. I don't think we should lose our privacy completely as soon as we leave our home. And with devices like the Echo we don't even have privacy at home. There need to be restrictions on mass processing of this kind of data. Otherwise we'll create a version of the world of "1984" where nobody can escape surveillance.




I agree 100%.

At least we can opt-out by not buying an Echo.

People can't choose to not have a face when they want to go outside.
