> you have no privacy at all in public spaces.

Have we ever?

To varying degrees, depending on your definition of privacy.

For example, it used to be possible to go to a public park with a < 5% chance of being in the background of some random photograph taken by a stranger (or 0% depending on how far we go back in history).

Now in many places you can barely walk 1 block without being in the background of someone's iPhone selfie or captured on someone's Ring camera.

Nope. Only through obscurity - it used to be difficult/expensive to track somebody’s daily movements. Now it’s relatively trivial to do so.

This is where I have trouble. It obviously feels wrong to do at scale in an automated way but the only difference is that it got easier.

[alistairSH → 2OEH8eoCRo0]

Yeah. I feel the same way. And I realize I facilitate it with my phone and other devices. But still, feels creepy at best and dangerous at worst.
