Ah yes. The fallacy of you're already being exploited so what's one more time?
Really, though -- is that not true?
There is already no expectation of privacy and anonymity anymore. Cameras are already everywhere, more and more of them interconnected and tracking your every step. If you want privacy and anonymity outside of your own home, you need to be wearing a mask, and maybe taking measures to disguise your gait and physical proportions as well. Having slightly more or slightly fewer cameras out there isn't going to change that whatsoever.
Yeah! Things are already bad. It's so much simpler to let it get worse than trying to make things better!
