You're right and that's what should happen.

That said, these scum capitalists own their own regulatory bodies through legalized bribery. I very much believe they would use that power and succeed in getting legislation passed to make such hacks a major, felonious crime, in the interest of "public safety."

The government likes this tech too, because it comes with a built in, always on connection, which just makes it easier and easier for agencies to gather intel on... everyone.
