Sounds like something that wouldn't be a problem if we had adequate privacy protection regulations and enforced them properly.
How about we do that?
Other countries won't care about your county's privacy regulations.
The only way to regulate your own privacy is to make sure you are not being surveilled in the first place.
Hence proper privacy protection regulations and enforcement. No more black box devices that upload data to their servers that can't be deciphered by the users. Get caught? A crippling fine on first offense. Jail sentences and ban from the market for further offenses.
If someone gets caught planting a listening or a tracking device against someone else they can go to jail for it. Why should we make an exception for corporate leaders?
