Is there some potential for a bad actor to get in there and cause harm? Yes, of course, and we may not have, in place, the measures to track and sufficient penalties to deter and/or punish such misuse/abuse. There should be criminal as well as civil penalties in place. Not for the collection of the data but for any actual damage done, it is the doing of the harm that we must have measures to deal with. No harm is done by the data collection itself and there are those who feel they benefit from the process.

OK, so I'll set myself up in front of your house and watch you through your windows. Just in case that you dare to draw the curtains I am also prepared to resort to thermal imaging. I'll make video recordings and forward them to all sorts of companies and public bodies. If you believe that this has caused you any harm, you are welcome to sue me and to prove it. As it happens, I have almost unlimited funds to argue my case. It's quite suspicious that you would sue anyway. I mean, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, right?
