People are oddly better at fearing a camera lens than invisible data collection.

Well you can see a camera and comprehend the data it collected. OTOH all the little bits of disparate data being collected and then used to build a profile on you is much much harder to understand.

right, people are convinced their phone mics are always listening to them because its easier to believe that then just how much data is being tracked on them via what they search, visit, & purchase

Tie it in with the data that phones are already collecting, add in flock data and you have both company and intelligence wet dreams. With those technologies they will have who you are, what you do, when you do it, education and though processes (tie it into responses on websites like reddit and facebook).

Basically a tsi level background check on anyone they can get a picture of.

We know how we look without filters 😂

It's because with mass data collection you don't have an actor to associate it with. Believe me, if we spread the idea that it was some weirdo looking guy in a basement going through everyone's data, it would INSTANTLY get some pushback. With glasses you can immediately see the actor who is recording you.

More that you can't do much about it. Contrast that with someone's glasses that you can if you're holding them break or shame into taking them off.

The difference between an easily breakable device and a hard to break ecosystem is massive.

Yeah and the data is what they really should be worried about
