> not sold on the idea of our society becoming a surveillance state
If the police can access them without warrant and even promote the devices on their twitter accounts? I am completely sold on it.
I am more skeptical about calling door bells with cameras a technological innovation or progress.
> things we've just already accepted, like constant tracking of our positions via smartphones and our online browsing habits.
I don't think people have accepted being tracked 24/7. I know plenty of people that actively use guards against these practices and that isn't restricted to technically inclinded personalities. It is just that legislative powers seem to be sleeping. But accepting invasions of privacy as inevitable is certainly a dystopian development.
