    Nothing awkward at all about just randomly holding your arm out to watch TV while walking around the world. Sounds like a very relaxing experince having everyone stare at you while in an elevator.

    And if someone doesn’t want to be recorded, they have to explain “Don’t worry, it’s just Facebook that’s watching.”

    Legit gross behavior.

      Yes, Facebook is disgusting, as is Google and other large tech companies; but that’s just a bad take. You’re already being recorded by CCTV pretty much everywhere you go in public. The issue isn’t and shouldn’t be about being recorded, but instead about what is being done with the recorded data. I know that security tapes are going to be overwritten after some period; tech wants to feed all their data into advertising profiles and AI.
