It's more noticeable and visceral which is why people are up in arms about it. And rather than downplaying it why not use this as an opportunity to advocate for stringent privacy laws. Because I think you'll find most people do care about the excessive surveillance, they are just not aware of it.

Good points.

Just because it doesn't solve something worse, doesn't mean we shouldn't take a step forward.

I'm still smelling something stinky about this, like maybe it's pushed by Meta or Google (did they axe glasses?), but either way your points still stand. Conspiracy confirmed lol
