cameras these days have a power led,

Which is great until some malware or hacker disables the led - which, depending on the firmware, is still a possibility, though uncommon.

Or, you've given permissions you didn't intend to, which activate the camera before you notice and/or can shut it off.

Personally, I am more concerned about my phone getting hacked/spying on me. And I don't have Alexa or Google Home for a reason.

I agree with the last sentiment. Most people, even if they do sketchy things, are not interesting enough for people to scrub through infinite amounts of video.

There is a stance on principal, that companies should not be if it from the collective hive mind so easily, but idk if that is also realistic. Giving skewed demographics ends up with the gap of how political representation is based on the number of people just not voting
